Key highlights from OPEC's monthly oil market report

  • OPEC sees demand for its crude at 30.6 mbpd 
  • Production dropped 797K bpd in January to 30.8 mbpd
  • Increases estimate for non-OPEC supply growth in 2018-19
  • Reduces demand growth projection by 50kbpd to 1.24 mbpd
  • Saudi output in January at 10.2 mbpd vs 10.3 mbpd target
  • OPEC pointed to the growth in shale as taking market share. It continues to point to oversupply but the problem is that as cartel cuts and props up prices, it brings more money into shale, creating a new rival.
