OPEC and 10 non-OPEC countries led by Russia decided to extend production cuts by nine months, to 31 March 2020. OPEC said oil demand growth for 2019 had been revised down to 1.14 million barrels per day.
The cut extension aims to draw down crude inventories and support prices, while the demand downgrade signals weaker energy demand. Net effect on energy input costs is mildly supportive.
