  Oil dips ahead of expected OPEC+ output increase

Brent crude futures were down 70 cents, or 1.02%,... Read more Oil futures fell more than 1% on Friday, pressured by expectations that OPEC+ producers will decide this weekend to raise output and an Iranian reaffirmation of its commitment to nuclear non-proliferation.
  Brent crude futures were down 70 cents, or 1.02%, at $68.10 a barrel by 10:06 ET (1406 GMT) while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 72 cents, or 1.07%, to $66.28. Trade was thin due to the U.S. Independence Day holiday.
  Both contracts were on track for a small weekly gain, with Brent trading about 0.5% higher than last Friday’s close and WTI around 1.2% higher.
  Eight OPEC+ countries are likely to make another oil output increase for August at a meeting on Saturday in their push to boost market share. The meeting was moved forward a day to Saturday.
  "If the group decides to increase its output by another 411,000 barrels per day (bpd) in August, as expected, for the fourth successive month, oil balance estimates for the second half of the year will be reassessed and will suggest accelerated swelling in global oil reserves," said PVM analyst Tamas Varga.
  Crude prices also came under pressure from a report on U.S. news website Axios, saying that the United States was planning to resume nuclear talks with Iran next week, while Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said Tehran remained committed to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
  U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he would meet representatives of Iran "if necessary" even as the U.S. imposed fresh sanctions targeting Iran’s oil trade.
  
  Meanwhile, uncertainty over U.S. tariff policy was back in the spotlight as the end of a 90-day pause on higher levies approaches.
  Washington will start sending letters to countries on Friday, specifying what tariff rates they will face on goods sent to the United States, a clear shift from earlier pledges to strike scores of individual trade deals.

  "The oil market might take on more of a direction next week once we have had the results of the OPEC+ meeting at the weekend and because Trump’s tariff deadlines are due next week," said Investec (LON:INVP)’s head of commodities, Callum Macpherson.
  Separately, Barclays said it had raised its Brent oil price forecast by $6 to $72 a barrel for 2025 and by $10 to $70 a barrel for 2026 on an improved demand outlook. Source: Reuters/Investing.com

Read more Oil prices were little changed on Friday as a solid job market bolstered the case for the U.S. Federal Reserve keeping interest rates on hold, with investors also awaiting clarity on President Donald Trump’s plans for tariffs on various countries.
  Brent crude futures rose 1 cent, or 0.01%, to $68.81 a barrel by 0036 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude firmed 3 cents, or 0.04%, to $67.03.
  Trade was thinned by the U.S. Independence Day holiday.
  The U.S. labour market receded as a risk when new data on Thursday showed that American firms added a more-than-expected 147,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell to 4.1% - signs the economy remained resilient despite the turbulence and uncertainty over how big tariffs will be.
  President Trump said Washington will start sending letters to countries on Friday specifying what tariff rates they will face on goods sent to the United States, a clear shift from earlier pledges to strike scores of individual deals.
  Trump told reporters before departing for Iowa on Thursday the letters would be sent to 10 countries at a time, laying out tariff rates of 20% to 30%.
  Trump’s 90-day pause on higher U.S. tariffs ends on July 9, and several large trading partners have yet to clinch trade deals, including the European Union and Japan.
  Keeping prices in check, however, OPEC+, the world’s largest group of oil producers, is set to announce an increase of 411,000 barrels per day in production for August as it looks to regain market share, four delegates from the group told Reuters.
  
  The U.S. also imposed sanctions on Thursday against a network that smuggles Iranian oil disguised as Iraqi oil and on a Hezbollah-controlled financial institution, the Treasury Department said.

  Oil and Beyond: China's Expanding Global Footprint

The electronics giant is eyeing international shipments in two years. Sinopec, meanwhile, is drilling for oil in Kazakhstan. The two are part of a growing trend: China is going global. There’s just not enough growth potential at home.
  
  This is what credit ratings major Moody’s said in a new report this week, noting that it expected the Chinese government to add fuel to the international expansion through financial support in the form of subsidies and tax cuts.
  
  “A successful expansion in overseas income could boost China’s GNI [gross national income] and help offset the negative economic impact of weaker export demand, driven by trade tensions, or subdued domestic demand stemming from weak consumer sentiment,” the team that produced the report wrote.
  
  The latest export data from Beijing showed a slowdown for May, but it was attributed to the effect of U.S. tariffs on normal trade flows, suggesting a deal between the two would see a return to that normal. Indeed, overall exports from China rose in May, by 4.8%, affected by a 34.5% slump in exports to the United States. That compared with an increase of 8.1% in April.
  
  So, the tariff war is affecting China negatively, which was to be expected, but according to Moody’s, there are deeper problems in the Asian powerhouse’s economy, which is prompting a reorientation to the global scene. The goal: secure long-term growth. While doing that, Moody’s said, China would improve its economic diversification and its global investment footprint, and it would also boost the availability of foreign assets for local use.
  
  Oil is clearly an area where this international expansion is evident and accelerating. Although China has been actively seeking to increase its domestic production of both crude and gas in order to reduce its dependence on imports, it still imports a solid chunk of its demand. So, to secure supply, China is actively expanding its participation in oil and gas projects abroad.
  
  A report released earlier this year showed that in 2024, China’s foreign oil and gas investments hit an all-time high of $24.3 billion, mostly focused in the Middle East. Total Chinese investments in the region hit $39 billion last year, Chinese think tank Green Finance & Development Center, which produced the report, said.
  
  Meanwhile, the country has become the top trading partner of African countries, where it has been expanding its energy investments steadily, just like its mining industry presence. In the period between 2010 and 2024, China invested some $66 billion in energy and construction projects on the continent, data reported by an UK think tank earlier this year showed. These investments accounted for a fifth of China’s total spend on energy and construction globally in the period. And there was a very good reason for this.
  
  “A clear motivation for [Chinese firms], apart from new consumer markets and income streams, has been supply chain diversification, which has emerged as a strategy to mitigate risks from trade barriers that have intensified since 2018,” the analyst team at Moody’s said in its report. In other words, China has for years been doing what the EU and the U.S. are just now realizing they need to do: build secure, diversified supply chains.
  
  It would take China’s competitors years to do what it did with supply chains and foreign investment. Indeed, what some from the political sphere have called “reshoring” might be a better idea. So, while China is expanding internationally because it needs fresh economic “blood”, so to speak, the West is learning to appreciate its own resources, which it can develop with a view to achieving its own strategic goals.

  Denmark Takes EU Helm as Geopolitical Tensions Rise
  Denmark has taken over the six-month rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union as questions swirl over Europe's security and trade and a war still raging on its eastern flank. "Europe is at a defining moment in time," Danish Prime Minister... Read more Denmark has taken over the six-month rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union as questions swirl over Europe's security and trade and a war still raging on its eastern flank.
  
  "Europe is at a defining moment in time," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said in her welcome message as the country took the helm of Europe's leadership from July 1.
  
  "The world that secured our freedom and made us prosper can no longer be taken for granted."
  
  While there isn’t much Copenhagen can do about some of the issues that will face the 27-nation bloc given the veto power being wielded by some capitals, Denmark is expected to push for the EU to offset diminishing aid coming from Washington.
  
  Russian and Ukrainian officials met in Istanbul on May 16 and June 2, the first direct peace talks since the initial weeks of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow launched on February 24, 2022.
  
  The negotiations yielded agreements on prisoner swaps and the exchange of bodies of soldiers killed in the war, but produced no progress toward a cease-fire, let alone a peace deal.
  
  A month later, it seems a peace deal is no closer at hand.
  
  And then there's the elephant -- in this case the world's biggest island -- in the corner of the room: Greenland.
  
  Denmark wants to avoid any transatlantic dealings in coming months over the island, which is under Danish control but coveted by US President Donald Trump.
  
  The topic reportedly wasn't broached at a recent NATO summit in The Hague that Trump attended, and Danish officials hope this remains the case during the presidency.
  
  A recent election result in Greenland has also strengthened Copenhagen’s hand and there could even be renewed calls for the territory, which withdrew from the European Union back in 1985, to be part of the bloc again.
  
  For now, Denmark at least has the backing of all other member states when it comes to its territorial integrity, but this issue can resurface again at any time, posing numerous awkward questions in Brussels and beyond.
  
  Another issue that will dominate the Danish autumn is the EU’s new long-term budget beginning in 2028.
  
  The European Commission will fire the opening salvo in mid-July by presenting a basic framework for the five-year period and then come back in September with a more developed concept.
  
  Don’t expect a deal any time soon.
  
  The long-term EU budget, which will be a pot of money well north of 1 trillion euros, is the most fought-over issue lingering over Brussels.
  
  It will consume the city and pit institutions and member states against each other for months, even years, to come. Denmark will simply make sure that talks don’t boil over from the get-go.
  
  So what of EU foreign policy and enlargement? On foreign policy, the bloc's top diplomat will help guide potential sanctions on Georgia, which has been criticized for backsliding on democratic reforms and lurching away from Brussels and toward Moscow.
  
  But with Hungary and Slovakia expected to veto any tough measures, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas will have a tough time brokering a deal with teeth.
  
  The same is likely to be true of future sanctions on Russia even though the club’s 18th round is expected to be agreed in the coming days, though likely without the signature move to lower the Russian oil cap from the current $60 per barrel to $45 after the idea failed to gain support from Washington.
  
  While Denmark is keen to accelerate EU enlargement and has made it a priority during the next six months, various national vetoes are likely to make progress minimal.
  
  Poland, which had the presidency before Denmark, had big hopes here but ended up with Albania opening some negotiation chapters and Montenegro closing one.
  
  Expect that these two Western Balkan states will continue their steady march toward membership in the coming half a year, but otherwise Denmark will likely face the same frustrations as Warsaw.
  
  Hungary continues to bloc Ukraine from opening accession talks and there is real fear among EU officials that Budapest will continue to do so until its parliamentary election in April 2026.
  
  The tricky question for Denmark will be if it attempts to decouple Moldova from Ukraine as they so far have progressed hand in hand. If it happens, it is likely to be in September just ahead of crucial Moldovan parliamentary elections later that month.
  
  Hungary’s behavior will make calls for the country to be stripped of its voting rights grow, but to do that unanimity is needed, and Slovakia -- and possibly others -- are unlikely to give that a green light.
  
  Backlash to that could come from other countries in the form of reluctance to give the go ahead to open and close accession chapters with “Hungarian favorites” such as Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia, while North Macedonia, already blocked by a Bulgarian veto for two years, will wonder why no one is putting pressure on Sofia.
  
  Kosovo, which sent an EU application in 2022, will presumably also see its bid to join club continue to languish in the Council.
  
  Denmark would like to send the application for a European Commission assessment, but there is no consensus among member states, and Copenhagen’s case is not helped by Pristina’s inability to form a government months after a general election. Source: Oilprice.com
