Reports indicate Riyadh is pushing for an <strong>OPEC+ output hike of at least 411,000 barrels per day in August<\/strong>, with further increases possible in September. The aim appears to be regaining lost market share amid what is typically a high-demand summer window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the kingdom\u2019s concurrent <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VnZSyIxD3x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">price cuts to July-loading crude for Asian buyers<\/a>, <\/strong>down to near four-year lows, paints a more nuanced picture. The pricing strategy reflects weaker-than-expected demand from top importers like China, where industrial activity remains tepid and refinery throughput has shown signs of stagnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This dual signal of increasing volume into a softening market has stoked fears of oversupply heading into Q3, particularly if global growth slows under the weight of ongoing trade disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">U.S. Inventory Data Adds Fuel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) figures released midweek showed a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lUDWAcFi7U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">modest draw in crude inventories<\/a><\/strong>, but larger-than-forecast builds in gasoline and distillate stocks undercut any bullish impulse. The gasoline surplus in particular suggests weak end-user demand \u2014 a troubling sign ahead of the U.S. driving season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gasoline stockpiles rose by over 3 million barrels, significantly above consensus expectations of a 1.5 million barrel increase. Combined with Saudi\u2019s summer output push, the result has been a market doubting whether demand can match the scale of upcoming supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crude oil prices remain rangebound after volatile swings between $62.18 and $63.93 in the past 24 hours. The price peaked at $63.93 during the U.S. session on 4 June before sharp profit-taking triggered a fast drop to intraday lows of $62.18. That level has since held firm, acting as strong support heading into the 5 June Asia session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x446.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23987\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picture: Oil rebounds off $62.18 low after sharp drop; recovery stalls below $63 with trend momentum still muted, as seen on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VT Markets app<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price has recovered modestly and is now consolidating around $62.73\u2013$62.75, with moving averages converging near the current range, suggesting indecision and low momentum. The MACD histogram is gradually turning positive after a deep dip, but signal lines remain flat, implying a lack of conviction from bulls or bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sustained break above $63.00 could re-open a test of $63.50\u2013$63.90. Conversely, failure to hold the $62.50 zone may invite another leg lower toward $62.20 and $61.80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While dips below <strong>$62.50<\/strong> may attract bargain hunters, a sustained move lower could follow if gasoline demand continues to disappoint and Saudi-led output momentum builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/trade-now\/\">Create your live VT Markets account<\/a><\/strong><strong> and <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/myaccount.vtmarkets.com\/login?_gl=1*1azgbap*_gcl_au*NjE5NTE3MjY4LjE3NDQ2MDA3NDI.*_ga*MTY4OTgwNTU5Mi4xNzM2NzQ2MTgy*_ga_J26NL1ZVX7*czE3NDQ5NDQ0NTYkbzEyMCRnMCR0MTc0NDk0NDQ1NiRqNjAkbDAkaDA.\">start trading<\/a><\/strong><strong> now.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WTI eyes $62 handle as OPEC+ expansion plans, soft Asian demand, and refined product surpluses pressure sentiment. &#8211;
