摘要：DUBAI and ABU DHABI (Bloomberg) -- Italy’s top oil producer and Oman’s energy minister predict the latest oil rebound will stick. Prices are up more than 20% since hitting an almost two-year low in December, enough to alter OPEC+ rhetoric from reassuring investors that it will cut output to taking credit for the rebound, and in the case of Oman, forecasting where oil will trade for the year. Oman Oil Minister Mohammed Al-Rumhi told Bloomberg TV that the agreement between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and partners including Russia and Oman can sustain prices at $60/bbl. He sees crude trading between that bottom and $70/bbl this year. Claudio Descalzi, the CEO of Italy’s Eni SpA, told Bloomberg TV the range will be between $60 and $62 a barrel. “I see demand for hydrocarbons still growing,” Descalzi said. “When we talk about 1.3 to 1.4 MMbpd, that is still there,” referring to potential demand increases. A few weeks ago, as global benchmark Brent crude briefly dipped below $50/bbl, OPEC ministers were taking turns to remind investors that they would trim supply. That message, along with brightening prospects for U.S.-China trade talks seem to have worked, pushing the gauge above $60/bbl and ending talks about an extraordinary OPEC meeting.
