Notably oil is trading lower today (04\/05\/2023) than before the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partner countries\u2019 (OPEC+) intervention announced on Sunday 2 April. When OPEC+ announced its cut of 1.66 million barrels per day, the oil markets rose 10% within a space of a week, but prices have been slipping since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oil-markets-are-pessimistic\"><strong>Oil markets are pessimistic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets seem to be hyper-focused on the effects of monetary tightening on future oil demand. Hence the pessimism in oil markets. Speculative positioning in Brent and WTI is depressed with Brent net short and WTI positioning more than 1 standard deviation below 5-year average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/oil-image-1-5-d-5-d-23.png\" alt=\"Brent oil net speculative positioning\" class=\"wp-image-189910 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/oil-image-1-5-d-5-d-23.png 814w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/oil-image-1-5-d-5-d-23-700x587.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/oil-image-1-5-d-5-d-23-300x252.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/oil-image-1-5-d-5-d-23-768x644.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 814px; aspect-ratio: 814\/683;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg, April 2018 \u2013 April 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Historical performance is not an indication of future performance and any investments may go down in value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bank of England (BOE) shares the US Federal Reserve\u2019s focus on getting inflation back to a range around 2% but, during 2022, inflation in the UK spiked to roughly 11.5% &#8211; an overshoot of 9.5%.

Even though the cartel states its purpose of existence is to balance oil markets, the reality is, it is more focused on maintaining relatively high oil prices. Many governments of OPEC+ nations are highly reliant on oil revenues to finance their expenditures. Low oil prices act as a constraint on social expenditure. In fact, the fiscal breakevens \u2013 the price of oil needed for governments to balance their expenditures with their revenue &#8211; for many OPEC+ countries are significantly higher than where oil is trading today. Oil is currently trading below Saudi Arabia\u2019s estimated fiscal breakeven $78.17\/bbl, and that should sharpen the focus of the largest OPEC member on driving prices higher. Most OPEC+ nations do not expect oil prices to reach their fiscal breakevens as that would choke off significant amount of demand. But, as a group have become comfortable with oil trading at close to US$90\/bbl. That, we believe, will motivate the OPEC+ group to intervene again at its June 4th meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"447\"
