Members of OPEC agreed to increase oil production by September of this year. Production cuts are around 5.8 million barrels a day, and OPEC is going to stop these cuts by increasing barrel production by 400,000 per day. Members are now starting to want to increase production as global economies begin reopening despite the growing rate of the delta strain. USOil is up 0.30% on the day today at the time of writing this.
How this affects Canada
A big factor in Canada's GDP is oil production, and an increasing demand in oil helps both the price of oil and the Canadian economy. An increase of supply will lessen demand which could hurt Canada while a cut in barrel production is good for the loonie.
Our outlook
It seems like an increase of 400,000 barrels each day starting August of this year is a sign of economic recovery, but that doesn't seems like a lot compared to the 5.8 million cut each day. So, there's an argument that supply might not be enough to outpace the demand for oil on a global scale. I think there's an argument for both sides here, and it depends on which currency pair you look at. I am bullish CADJPY, USDCAD & CADCHF, bearish GPBCAD.
