OPEC headwinds into low season
Saudi Arabia has added to softening tanker markets with an additional 1mbpd cut until at least July, while voluntary cuts have been extended until end-2024. This means less tanker demand (~2% in aggregate, ~3% for VLCCs) and should weigh on near-term earnings potential for tanker stocks. However, we still find current valuations and the long-term backdrop of limited supply growth and steadily improving oil demand appealing for the outlook into the winter and beyond.
