The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price trades neutral at the $71.90 area on Tuesday’s American session after clearing daily losses as the prospects of more production cuts by Saudi Arabia seem to be giving traction to the black gold. On the other hand, the gloomy economic outlook is the main factor responsible for pushing prices lower.

Next week, the Federal Reserve (Fed), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) will announce their monetary policy decisions. For the US central bank, market expectations regarding the decision are mixed while a rate hike from the ECB is widely expected. Interest rates tend to be negatively correlated with economic activity and hence, may weigh on Oil prices. In addition, the latest economic data from the S&P Global and Institute for Supply Management (ISM) revealed weak US figures while Germany reported a technical recession following Q1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures.

On the upside, the prospects of further production cuts by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) give traction to the black gold. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman stated on Sunday that Saudi Arabia’s reduction of one million barrels per day (bpd) in oil production could be prolonged if deemed necessary, extending beyond July.
