Goldman Sachs stated that they no longer anticipate OPEC+ to announce a partial reversal of voluntary production cuts in June.
The US investment bank attributed this change to unexpected inventory increases, leading to a chance of only 37% of a production hike being determined in June.
Despite indicating that a final decision from OPEC+ remains pending, the Wall Street bank predicted that Saudi Arabian crude supply would hold steady at 9 million barrels per day in July, down from the initial estimate of 9.2 million barrels per day.
