Oil futures fell in early trading as the market digested additional voluntary OPEC+ cuts for 1Q24. The package includes an extension of 1.3 million bpd by Saudi Arabia and Russia, about 700,000 bpd from others, and a 200,000 bpd reduction in Russian fuel exports.
The cuts, including the Russian fuel export reduction, support crude and diesel prices, though analysts expect them to sustain current price levels rather than drive a sharp rally, which limits the cost impact on feed buyers.
