OPEC+ will cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day amid looming demand concerns and the ongoing friction between the West and Russia over the war in Ukraine.

The output cut, the largest since the start of the pandemic, appears to be about the global oil picture as well as politics, says one oil analyst.

“I think with OPEC you’re generally getting both,” Bob Iaccino, chief market strategist at Path Trading Partners, told Yahoo Finance Live.

“This does seem like a crack in the relationship between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia,” he added. “That’s very discouraging in terms of what can happen with the inflation picture in terms of the midterms.”

The OPEC+ meeting was the first in-person encounter since the start of the pandemic, with Russian energy minister Pavel Sorokin present.

The output cuts are expected to keep a floor on the price of oil, and take into account demand concerns over the on-and-off Chinese lockdowns and recession fears.

“When you look at where crude oil is going, I still think it’s going to be weak. When you look at demand, given the potential recessionary picture globally, demand is going to fall off a cliff,” said Iaccino.

“It is OPEC that is going to be controlling the price. But if we get the global recessions that are being predicted, you’re going to get a continued fall in demand because this particular cut is going to last all the way into December 2023,” he predicted.

“I think OPEC wants to see $100 barrel crude oil. I still think we’re going to see $65 before we see $100 in the WTI crude oil market,” he added.

On Wednesday West Texas Intermediate crude (CL=F) was trading more than 1% higher. Brent crude (BZ=F) was more than 1% higher.

UPDATE 1-U.S. shale producers to remain on sidelines if OPEC+ cuts output

A big oil production cut by OPEC+ members will not spur new U.S. oil and gas production, energy executives told Reuters, despite the likely rise in prices that could signal higher profits and inflation pressures. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, called OPEC+, meets on Wednesday to consider output cuts that could exceed 1 million barrels per day, the largest since the 2020 pandemic-driven market crash. A hefty cut will show the extent to which OPEC+ has regained control of oil markets and increase pressure on U.S. President Joe Biden to respond to rising fuel prices.

Oil jumps more than 3% ahead of OPEC+ meeting on supply cuts

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Oil rose by nearly $3 a barrel on Tuesday on expectations of a large cut in crude output from the OPEC+ producer group and as a weaker U.S. dollar made oil purchases less expensive. Top oil traders also said at the Argus European Crude Conference in Geneva on Tuesday that economic headwinds have not yet caused significant erosion of global oil demand.

What Analysts Think About These High-Dividend Mortgage REITs

You would be hard-pressed to find a worse-performing real estate investment trust (REIT) class in 2022 than mortgage REITs (mREITs). With over 8% inflation and the Federal Reserve raising interest rates multiple times, the mREIT group has been trounced. Many mREITs are still maintaining dividends without cuts, and with the substantial price declines this year, many of these stocks are now paying high single-digit and even double-digit dividend yields. But what do analysts think about the future

Fed determined to fix ‘problematic’ inflation, Daly says

What the Fed does see, she said, is that “inflation is problematic, and we are committed to restoring price stability” by raising rates further. The Fed is expected to deliver a fourth straight 75-basis-point rate hike when it meets early next month, as it tightens monetary policy more aggressively than it has done since the 1980s to ease price pressures that have stayed higher for longer than policymakers had expected. Global stock markets have gyrated as investors try to calibrate when the Fed’s rate hikes could end, and policymakers like Daly have stuck firmly to their message that the tightening will only end when inflation comes down.
