Investing.com — Oil prices rebounded Friday, but were still on course to post hefty losses this week on concerns slowing U.S. growth and a tepid rebound in the Chinese economy will hit global demand.<\/p>\n

By 08:55 ET (12:55 GMT), futures traded 2.7% higher at $70.41 a barrel, while the contract rose 2.5% to $74.33 a barrel.<\/p>\n

Despite these gains, the market is heading for a third straight weekly decline, the longest losing run this year, with the Brent contract more than 6% lower so far this week and the Nymex contract over 8% lower.<\/p>\n

\u201cSentiment clearly remains negative, which suggests that there could be some further downside in the near term, although we would expect the market to find good support near the March lows of around US$70\/bbl,\u201d said analysts at ING, in a note.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe market is in oversold territory and our balance sheet still shows that the market will be in deficit over 2H23, which should drive prices higher.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Europe, the also lifted interest rates this week, and hinted of more hikes to come, while in China a private survey showed that growth in the country\u2019s unexpectedly slowed in April.<\/p>\n

That reading, coupled with a surprise contraction in the , added to concerns that a post-COVID economic rebound in the largest crude importer in the world was running out of steam.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia lowered its official selling prices for all grades of its crude oil into Asia for June earlier this week, suggesting demand remains light.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s weakness is occurring despite the voluntary output cut of just over 1 million barrels per day by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+, starting at the beginning of May.<\/p>\n

Expectations are starting to grow that the OPEC+ will be forced into further production cuts, particularly after it was announced that the cartel\u2019s next meeting in Vienna in early June will be held in person.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time the group held an in-person meeting was back in October last year when the group announced that they would reduce production targets by 2MMbbls\/d,\u201d added ING. \u201cClearly, if the current downward trend continues in prices, the group would likely be forced to make further supply cuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The week ends with the release of as well as , as usual.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
