On Sunday, the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) at a meeting in Algeria refrained from considering the growth of crude production above 1 mln barrels per day, warning instead about a possible return to reductions in 2019. OPEC projects that next year the market may see the scenario of 2014 when oil surplus pushed crude futures down. OPEC+ is going to convene an extraordinary gathering in November for assessing the optimal production level for 2019.
