WTI below $68 as Saudi committed to higher output


Why Evercore cut its Brent crude price target

U.S. crude oil prices fell nearly 3% on Thursday on a report that Saudi Arabia is committed to pressing ahead with production increases later this year.

Saudi is prepared to ditch its unofficial oil price target of $100 per barrel, people familiar with the kingdom’s thinking told The Financial Times. Saudi officials are ready to increase oil production in December even if the move results in a prolonged period of low oil prices, the people said.

Here are Thursday’s energy prices:

  • West Texas Intermediate November contract: $68.15 per barrel, down $1.54, or 2.21%. Year to date, U.S. crude oil is down about 5%.
  • Brent November contract: $71.86 per barrel, down $1.60, or 2.2%. Year to date, the global benchmark is down nearly 7%.
  • RBOB Gasoline October contract: $1.964 per gallon, down 1.7%. Year to date, gasoline is down about nearly 6%.
  • Natural Gas October contract: $2.628 per thousand cubic feet, up 0.3%. Year to date, gas is up more than 4%.

Prices are also under pressure on the expectation that oil production will rise in Libya. Factions in the North African country reached a deal Wednesday to appoint a new central bank governor. A political dispute over who should lead the bank has led to production disruptions.

The prospect of rising production is set against a backdrop of soft demand in China, the world’s largest crude importer and second-largest consumer. Oil prices rallied earlier in the week after Beijing announced a new stimulus package.
