Experts Goldman predicts oil prices above $ 65 if OPEC cuts production

Company does not offer investment advice and the analysis performed does not guarantee results

Financial analysts at Goldman Sachs believe that the price of Brent crude oil may exceed $ 65 per barrel if the OPEC member countries agree to reduce production this week.

Experts agree that the wording of the new OPEC agreement will be restrained, for example, the goal could be to stabilize the volume of commercial stocks.

According to their estimates, at the beginning of next year, the price of Brent crude oil may exceed $ 70 per barrel amid a reduction in exports and the cessation of growth in reserves that exceed seasonal rates. This price level will allow for normalization of reserves, while not sufficient for an excessive increase in drilling activity in the United States.

If oil quotes reach $ 62-63 per barrel, this may stimulate further growth to $ 70 per barrel. However, if OPEC does not reach an agreement on reducing production at the next meeting on December 6-7, this will lead to the continuation of a downward rally.

Forecast for GBP/USD for December 5, 2018

The correction on the British pound yesterday took place even higher than the area we expected, the limiter was the balance line of the daily timeframe. On the four-hour chart, the signal line of the Marlin oscillator formed a long corridor, pushing off from its upper limit. The reason for the increased dynamics was the decision of the British Parliament to take over the authority of further Brexit process in case of failure of the May draft vote on the 11th. This turn of events has threatened the prime minister's resignation. Given that the EU may not want to process the finished project, which has been repeatedly stated, the country can leave the EU without a deal at all.

So, the short-term technical growth took place, the price strengthened on the daily and H4 in the downtrend, we are waiting for the price to support the price channel line in the area of 1.2550.
