Following a meeting on April 27, the OPEC + Ministerial Monitoring Committee recommended that member states keep the existing terms of the production cut agreement unchanged in May-July. It should be noted that under these conditions, as oil demand recovers, the volume of reductions will gradually decrease.

This recommendation of the monitoring committee was taken as a positive signal about the demand in the oil market.

At the same time, India and Japan still have a risk of decline in demand due to rising coronavirus infections.
