Oil prices face limited gains amid Saudi production increase

Oil prices continued their upward trend at the beginning of the week, extending gains from previous trading sessions, as markets reacted to potential new measures targeting Russian crude supplies. Investor sentiment was influenced by signals from US lawmakers about tightening sanctions, which could potentially constrain global energy supplies. However, price gains remained modest due to increased oil production from Saudi Arabia exceeding its OPEC+ quota.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported Saudi Arabia's June output reached nearly 9.8 million barrels per day, surpassing its agreed limit of approximately 9.37 million barrels. Despite this overproduction, Saudi Arabia's Energy Ministry maintains the country remains fully compliant with its production cut commitments.

ANZ analysts highlight that additional factors are capping price growth, including ongoing uncertainty about US trade tariffs and weak demand indicators from China. Market participants are now closely awaiting China's forthcoming trade data, which may provide clearer signals about the country's commodity import demand and overall economic activity.
