BRENT CRUDE OIL: Oil prices decline; The producers to set outline future output levels.

FUNDAMENTAL OVERVIEW:

Oil prices slightly declined on Monday, giving up some of the previous week’s significant gains but still trading close to three-week highs due to predictions that major producers will maintain tight supply.

U.S. oil futures were trading 0.2% lower at $85.42 a barrel by 05:05 ET (09:05 GMT), while the Brent price was down 0.2% at $88.42.

A significantly larger-than-expected drop in U.S. stocks helped both contracts conclude last week at their highest levels in more than half a year, with the Brent contract rising by just under 5% and the WTI contract by over 6%.

More importantly, it is anticipated that Saudi Arabia, the de facto leader of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, will soon decide over whether to continue a voluntary one million barrel per day oil production cut into October.

Chinese trade data are due on Thursday. Traders will be looking for signs of rising crude consumption as an indicator of an expanding economy.
