«Oil traders are focusing on just two things,» Naeem Aslan, senior market analyst at AvaTrade, said. «It's the possibility of a nuclear deal on Iran that would bring Iranian oil back to the market, and more importantly, OPEC production».
«There are a lot of rumors in the market that a deal with Iran is very likely, as the country appears to have abandoned some important demands», he added.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, OPEC's largest oil producer, has begun talking about the cartel's production cuts, the expert said. «This allows to calm the main fear of traders that the return of Iranian oil to the market will destabilize the balance of supply and demand», Aslan said.
The next OPEC+ meeting will take place on September 5.
