OPEC+ considers delay to its output hike, but faces a U.S. shale industry 'itching to drill again'

Ron Smith, an oil and gas analyst at BCS Global Markets, believes there are reasons to be bullish on prices, especially on a six-month view.

We think that as oil prices head towards $50/bbl, a key inflection point may be crossed, accelerating U.S. oil drilling activity and, with a small lag, oil production," Smith said. "We are watching OPEC+, which in turn is likely watching for any reaction from U.S. shale producers," he added.

Bain also concluded that a gradual recovery in U.S. production, alongside the return of "some" OPEC+ supply, will act as a ceiling on oil prices in the not too distant future.
