Fighting a mighty headwind long it seems.

Add Dow bounced off of 12k as expected. That was mostly a given. See if it holds.

Oil trades under $100/barrel on Saudi output news

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures added to losses Friday, trading under $100 a barrel on news Saudi Arabia would increase oil production and on a stronger dollar. Oil for July delivery (NMN:CL1N) declined $2.49 to $99.42 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. A Saudi newspaper reported the kingdom will pump 10 million barrels a day in July, about 500,000 barrels a day more than its June production, according to news and analyst reports. The news comes on the heels of a failed OPEC meeting, where member countries failed to reach consensus about a production increase and left official target levels the same.

Oil falls on dollar, reports of more Saudi crude

By Claudia Assis, MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Oil futures lost nearly 3% Friday, hurt by a stronger dollar and reports that Saudi Arabia will pump more oil next month, sidestepping the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries after the cartel’s meeting collapsed earlier this week.

Crude for July delivery (NMN:CL1N) declined $2.76, or 2.7%, to $99.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

A Saudi newspaper has reported the world’s top oil exporter is set to pump 10 million barrels of oil a day in July, according to analysts and news reports.

That would be 500,000 barrels a day more than Saudi Arabia’s June production, analysts at J. P. Morgan said in a note. In addition, the kingdom is selling more oil to Asian refiners, the analysts said.

The news comes two days after OPEC members meeting in Vienna could not reach an agreement on an official output increase and kept production targets unchanged, spurring a spike in oil futures.

Also Friday, the OPEC released its monthly oil market report, estimating OPEC production at 31 million barrels of oil a day in the third quarter of this year, an increase of 2.1 million barrels a day on-quarter.

The cartel warned of a supply gap in the second half of the year, although it tempered the gloomy forecast by casting more doubt on global economic growth, a proxy for demand. Read more OPEC short-term outlook.

Also impacting oil markets was news China imported about 21% more oil than a year ago. “High oil prices have therefore not dampened demand in China,” analysts at Commerzbank said.

China’s May trade surplus expanded from April, but the pace of growth was slower than analysts had expected, raising worries about lower domestic-demand growth. Read more about China export/import data.

The dollar traded higher compared to major rivals on Friday. The dollar index (NYE-DXY) , which compares the greenback with six other currencies, traded at 74.710, up from 74.200 in North American trading late Thursday.

A stronger oil is negative for oil and other dollar-denominated commodities as it makes them more expensive for holders of other currencies.
