OPEC+ already announced an increase in production to keep prices down.
Close of Friday was $60/barrel. Futures markets have them at $69 late on Sunday.
I doubt we’ll see anything in the $100 range. Too much cheap shale oil from the US and heavy, dirty crude from Venezuela having a market in the gulf should absorb major supply side shocks

Early market moves in East Asian are seeing +8% from Friday’s close at $72 and $79 (different oil grades). But this might be overreaction in the east as we wait to see what happens when the Middle East wakes up. It’s still 3AM in Riyadh, so it’s slow news coming out of Saudi Arabia
