Omicron, Ukraine Fears Take A Back Seat Amidst Tightness
Crude is climbing above 7-year highs and inching towards the $100-mark, which is no goodnews for importing countries like India. Although there are downside risks, such as Omicronand gathering clouds over Ukraine, the situation is weighed more in favour of tight supplies.Adding to the worries are disappointing January production estimates from key producersIraq and Russia.In fact, current oil market premium is even more than what the supply situation wouldwarrant. It is more out of expectations of near-term tightness around March and April.Despite a down-tick early this month in the wake of falling global road and aviation activity aswell as the Chinese Lunar New Year holiday and the start of Olympics, most other regionsare seeing an upwards trend in road traffic, with the exception of Russia, which together withOmicron news flow gives credence to expectations of a demand increase into March andApril as well.How large this demand increase will be and whether supply will manage to keep up remainsto be seen and the market is playing a wait-and-see game for the time being. Global oil markets seemed to lose a bit of ground as doubts over the ability of OPEC+ tomaintain full production capacity persist and the supply outlook remains tight.Simultaneously, traders are bracing for more volatility amidst the hope that OPEC+ crude oiloutput could bring balance to the market. The Ukraine question has taken a back seat, indicating that the chance the world’s largestenergy powerhouses, in terms of fossil fuel output, may manage to avoid military action, aswas the case for the entirety of the Cold War. Neither party wants to turn up the geopoliticalheat and fire up energy prices especially when climate-induced price spikes are still a verysalient short-term risk and supply chain shortages would likely exacerbate an impact of suchan event.Overall, the market remains bullish on prices as it has since May 2020 when OPEC+enacted mega cuts to its output bringing oil from negative territory to a quite reasonablejump away from $100 per barrel if the right bull conditions materialize in the coming weeks.The prevailing expectation is that the market, despite some downward blips caused bypandemic demand scares, will continue to trade high on oil as real supply shortages existboth in the short and long-term view.While other market players are calling for a prolonged supercycle, the volatility of the marketwill likely be short-lived and corrected by a response from short-term cycle barrels. Should market volatility continue longer than expected, the bull cycle will be here to stay and oilprices will climb even higher. Production capacity in Middle East powerhouses Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE is onhand to boost output by at least 2 million barrels a day. But this is kept in check by thecurrent OPEC+ agreement that caps supply increases voluntarily, despite the marketscreaming out for more production.Current prices are far-far above breakeven prices for marginal supplies from anywhere fromthe US shale patch to offshore, not to mention onshore fields in the Middle East. Analystssay that from an operator’s economical perspective, investments and supply should see apositive jolt some months down the line this year and into the next.Looking back, OPEC+ has failed to live up to its own pledge of increasing productionaccording to plan, and the group is now trailing its “target production” in January by around700,000 bpd as Nigeria, Angola, even Russia, and some other smaller producers are laggingtheir own production targets. Supply disruptions in Nigeria, which produces a lot of “swingbarrels” with ideal composition in the current market for refiners, are particularly problematicand support the overall sweet crude markets which now show close to record-strongpremiums in prices.The market is rightfully concerned about supply-demand balances for crude oil into thespring months, especially now that the Omicron risk seems to be fading slowly. In any case,OPEC+ supply growth is key to delivering on the crude supply the market expects will beneeded to meet demand - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara in the second quarter.

Agency News: New Delhi Two-time champion Isl amabad United won by a commanding 42 runs to hand Karachi Kings their fifth straight loss in the Pakistan Super League. Host Karachi, led by Pakistan T20 captain Babar Azam, will go to Lahore next week for the final leg of the PSL without a

Islamabad skipper Shadab Khan, who won the toss and opted to bat first, continued his brilliant allround form and raised his wickets tally to 14. Shadab picked up 4-15 through his sharp legspin bowling that restricted Karachi to 135-9 in its unimpressive chase. Earlier, Islamabad’s seasoned T20 top

Agency News:New Delhi Rohit Sharma made a stunning return from a two-month injury layoff on Sunday as he notched up 60 to help India crush West Indies by six wickets in the ODI series opener in Ahmedabad. With his trademark pull shots and elegant stroke-play, the 34-yearold opener announced his arrival like he never left. The victory was
special, given the fact that it was India’s 1000th game in the ODI format and Rohit’s first outing as full-time captain in the 50-over format. Chasing a modest 176run total on a sluggish wicket, India finished on 178-4 in only 28 overs with Suryakumar Yadav (34 not out) and debutant Deepak Hooda (26 not out) adding final touches.

Faced with relatively low inflation amid a global surge, the Reserve Bank of India will still wait at least a few more months before it joins other central banks in raising interest rates following the pandemic, a Reuters poll found.Among the hardest-hit emerging economies from shutdowns and disruptions to business by COVID-19, India has only recently begun to recover much of its lost ground and New Delhi’s latest budget was modestly stimulative compared with expectations. Indeed, the RBI has been notably dovish, having kept its key repo rate at a record low of 4.00% for nearly two years.Respondents in a Feb. 2-4 Reuters poll were
closely split on the timing of the next rise, with slightly more than half, 17 of 32, expecting 25 basis point rise to 4.25% in April. Among the remaining 15, 13 were nearly split between June and August. While only one economist said it would come as early this month, the other said October of this year.That would follow a widely-expected interest rate rise from near-zero in March by the U.S. Federal Reserve, which is grappling with the highest consumer inflation since 1982.Economists expect at least another two to follow, while markets are pricing in four more. Nearly two-thirds of respondents in the latest poll, 24 of 38, see one more RBI rate rise by year-end, little changed from a poll taken last month.
