WTI crude oil prices consolidate weekly losses near a two-week low in Friday's Asian session. The energy benchmark hails the expected output drop from major suppliers while ignoring US-Iran oil deal discussions. The market's consolidation before the US jobs data seems to favor the latest commodity bounce.

 

Reuters reports that OPEC+ will meet on September 5 amid a backdrop of dropping prices and demand, even as top producer Saudi Arabia claims supply remains tight. OPEC+ this week reduced its demand estimate, now projecting demand to lag supply by 400,000 bpd in 2022 and 300,000 bpd in 2023.

 

On a second page, Reuters sources Iranian official news as claiming Iran has given a 'constructive' response to US suggestions aimed at restoring the 2015 nuclear deal.

 

Covid-led lockdown in China's Chengdu joins gloomy Manufacturing PMIs and hawkish Fedbets to squeeze WTI crude oil prices.

 

US 10-year Treasury rates decrease one point from late June's highs to 3.25 percent, while two-year bond coupons fall from a 15-year high. The CME's FedWatch Tool predicts a 74% chance of a rate hike in September, up from 69%.

 

Looking ahead, oil traders will watch the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) and Unemployment Rate for August for fresh impulse.

 

Although $85.30-50 horizontal support limits the black gold's immediate fall, recovery is elusive until reaching the 50-DMA and 200-DMA, around $95.15-30.
