    Oil prices are ending the year almost double from the January lows of $28.94/b. There is great optimism about the outlook for oil in 2017, as the proposed output cut of 1.8mbpd by OPEC / non-Opec members, that was agreed upon recently, will finally come into effect from January 1.

    But consider this:
    1) There is a supply threat from Libya and Nigeria (OPEC members who were exempted from the quota),as they ramp up production. With Libya's peak levels being at 1.6mbpd, there is enough room for it to increase output.This could easily upset the supply balance being sought from a cut of 1.8mbpd.
    2) Oil prices above $50/b would be conducive for US shale oil producers. As per Reuters, the number of active rigs have risen by 61% and production has already jumped from 8.5 to 8.8mbpd since May. Higher prices will only accelerate the shale rebound and add to global supply
    3) OPEC deal compliance remains to be seen - past record of non-adherence,member discord and possibility to renege as prices rise, pose additional risk to the downside
    4) USD has been flying at multi year high this year and is expected to stay put or only go north next year supported by Fed, adding further downward pressure to Oil prices.
    5) China, the biggest driver of global oil demand is expected to continue with its slow growth next year. Threat of protectionism induced trade wars could also negatively impact global oil demand.

    While the market optimism is justified, given positive reassurances from the cartel, there are too many moving pieces yet to complete the 2017 oil price picture.

    We've seen good news for oil market recently:
    1. S&P Global Platts survey this week showed OPEC production cut compliance for January was at 91%, far above its average compliance rate of 60%. Though Iraq was producing over allocation and Iran, Libya and Nigeria were exempt from cuts, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Angola made up for these lapses by making larger cuts than required.
    2. Data from IEA showed that global demand for 2016 was healthy at 1.6mnbpd, driven by better than expected European economic growth, colder weather and high vehicle sales. The 2017 forecast for global oil demand growth was revised up by OPEC to 1.19mnbpd (vs 1.16mnbpd)

    But investors need to keep these factors in mind before being bullish on oil:

    1. US shale oil production could contribute to global supply, capping the gains from production cuts. Baker Hughes reported 8% monthly rise in active rigs in January this year at 683, up 4% higher than January 2016. OPEC might have to continue with the cuts to be able to keep the uptrend in oil prices steady.
    2. Beyond June, OPEC members might be wary of production cut continuation and compliance as they struggle to maintain market share
    3. Countries like Nigeria that have been producing below capacity levels due to the insurgency, could increase supply.Similarly, Iran and Libya, that were exempt from cuts, could also contribute to increasing supply levels and impact oil prices negatively

    Will the oil markets eventually re-balance this year?

    It just been the first quarter of the year but the crude oil showed to be weaker and weaker. But I am still observing what will happen on the next quarter of the year. Though it has a good effect with dollar, but not with other countries.
