Russian Federation said, that if the oil market needs more oil, the OPEC+ coalition will be able to quickly discuss it all together and make all necessary decisions, as OPEC+ has all needed tools.
Brent has fallen nearly 9 percent from last week's high above $79 on emerging evidence of higher production from Saudi Arabia and other members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, as well as Russian Federation and the United States.
Saudi Arabia boosted production sharply in June, raising crude shipments to world markets by 390,000 barrels a day to 7.6-million barrels a day, Kpler tanker-tracking data showed.
The sources did not disclose how much of June's 100,000 barrel per day (bpd) increase came from stocks. The Iranians have pinned their hopes on China, which buys most of the oil, as well as on India and Turkey. "Markets are now nervous, not only about a trade war, but also a currency war". In June, Saudi Arabia pumped 10.49mbpd (its OPEC limit is 10.06mbpd). The move up in USA inventories is relatively surprising, given that end-user demand for gasoline is typically the strongest around this time of year. Beijing, according to the official, will likely make the purchases through the same bank it used during the previous rounds of sanctions to get around United States penalties. Some countries such as China have rejected US calls and Japan is seeking a waiver.
Trade tension between the United States and China could drag on the global economy, BMI Research said. Several European nations have requested a waiver from US sanctions on Iran already, which would have allowed European companies in certain strategic sectors to continue to operate in the country.

Waivers. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin indicated this week that the Trump administration would "consider exceptions" to the sanctions regime against Iran. This is why the US government is pushing for at least three means to keep prices reasonably low.
"President Trump is doing everything in his power to lower gasoline prices", he said. Net U.S. crude imports rose last week to 2.2 million bpd to about 9 million bpd. The goal is to bring down oil prices-and gasoline prices-ahead of the mid-term elections in November, the same month in which the renewed USA sanctions on Iran are returning. For example, abstaining from Iranian oil would leave Turkey at the mercy of Russian Federation. Beijing is already the largest buyer of Iranian oil and Tehran's largest trading partner and has criticized Washington's withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May.
Fuel prices were supported the last few weeks in large part because almost 700,000 bpd was shut down in Libya. As the winter approaches, the traditional season for heating oil demand, that could again help refining margins.
The kingdom's total crude supply to the market in June were even higher than well-head production, OPEC sources told Reuters, suggesting the Kingdom sold crude from storage.
The news comes as the United States aims to position itself as an worldwide oil and gas provider.
