OPEC+ officials planned to reconvene in Vienna to respond to the coronavirus-driven oil price shock. An OPEC analysis estimated a 200,000-400,000 b/d demand drop for 2020, while S&P Global Platts projected a larger hit.
Analysts expected OPEC+ to agree cuts of at least 500,000 b/d.
Expected output cuts offset coronavirus demand losses and provide some support for crude prices, which feeds into diesel and freight costs for feed commodities.
