Oil prices fall, will major producers led by Saudi Arabia and Russia continue to cut production?

The 13-member Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is expected to consult with 10 other oil-producing countries, including Russia, to consider the organization's future production policy. The in-person meetings of OPEC+ will take place in Vienna, Austria, from 8:00 a.m. (GMT), or about 3:00 p.m. on June 4 (Vietnam time).

There are growing signs that major oil producers led by Saudi Arabia and Russia are considering further production cuts when they meet on June 4 in an effort to stem the price crash.

Analysts had expected OPEC+ producers to maintain their current policy, but signs emerged on June 3 that maintaining this policy may not be enough to stabilize the oil market.

In April, some OPEC+ members agreed to voluntarily cut production by more than 1 million barrels a day, a surprise move that briefly supported prices but failed to bring a lasting recovery. Oil producers are grappling with plunging prices and high market volatility amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has affected economies around the world.

Most delegations remain tight-lipped or refuse to comment on possible policy decisions as they travel to Vienna for meetings.

Analysts have been divided on whether heavyweights Riyadh and Moscow will keep the group on track with its current output policy or continue to cut output.

According to a source familiar with the matter, the parties are discussing cutting production by about 700,000 barrels per day to 1 million barrels per day.
