Wood Mackenzie expects OPEC+ to keep production restraint through the second half of 2019 by rolling over the current agreement. It said Iraq and Nigeria are the exceptions to strong compliance and that U.S.-Iran tensions add price volatility.
A forecast of tighter second-half supply supports Brent prices, which the firm sees averaging $69.50 per barrel. Trade-war downside risk to demand could offset some of that support.
