Oil price rally to extend as OPEC+ steps seen falling short – Vitol
The ongoing oil price rally is likely to continue on the assumption any OPEC+ output hikes will fail to outpace the extent of demand growth, Mike Muller, Vitol Group’s head of Asia, said during a daily webinar hosted by Dubai consultants Gulf Intelligence on Sunday.
Vitol Group is the world's largest independent oil trader.
