By Myra P. Saefong Crude-oil prices have lost more than half their value since their peak in June 2014 Here’s a detailed look at the key reasons behind crude-oil prices’ recent descent: 1.OPEC To be sure, OPEC has played an oversize part in oil’s price plunge. Prices have fallen every day since the cartel on Friday decided to continue pumping oil at its current output level, which essentially legitimizes production of roughly 31.5 million barrels a day, which was running above OPEC output ceiling of 30 million barrels a day. On Thursday, a report from OPEC showed an increase in its November production to 31.695 million barrels a day, the largest monthly level in three years. But OPEC also cuts its forecast for non-OPEC production in 2016, citing the impact of low oil prices and falling investments in the oil industry. “The low prices may force enough private oil companies out of business, which then will help OPEC,” said Charles Perry, chief executive officer of energy-consulting firm Perry Management. Still, he believes that “OPEC is immediately hurt the most by this overproduction of oil,” as most members’ economies depend on oil income. 2.U.S. shale output U.S. oil production has started to buckle under the pressure of low prices, but it hasn’t shown a steady descent. Domestic shale-oil output is expected to fall to 4.861 million barrels a day in January, down 116,000 from December, according to a report from Energy Information Administration released earlier this week. Total U.S. oil production fell 38,000 barrels to 9.164 million barrels a day for the week ended Dec. 4, according to the EIA, but that is still above the year-ago level of 9.118 million. Based on current drilling costs, Perry estimates that a break-even price for shale-oil production would be at “something less than $40 a barrel because there is still a lot of drilling going on at this price.” The “’drop dead’ price when it gets low enough to stop all significant drilling is probably down at $25 to $30 a barrel,” he said. Even then, drilling will merely “taper off as it approaches the absolute break-even.” 3.Global supplies The International Energy Agency said that the world’s stockpile of oil sits at a record 3 billion barrels and it has been growing. “Demand growth has risen to a five-year high of nearly 2 [million barrels a day]…but gains in demand have been outpaced by vigorous production from OPEC and resilient non-OPEC 4.The dollar A rise in the U.S. dollar and expectations for further strength as the Federal Reserve meeting approaches also have played their part in oil’s drop. Since OPEC’s decision back in 2014 to keep, its production unchanged, the decline in oil prices “was more a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar than any calls around an ‘oil glut’,” Carl Larry, Frost & Sullivan’s director of oil & gas, said in a statement. “OPEC countries are producing a barrel of crude that is losing value because it’s based in [U.S. dollars],” said Larry.

By BusinessNews Staff The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Monday maintained that it has enough dollar cash to meet demand by operators of Bureau De Change (BDCs) who sell to retail end-users for eligible transactions. Director, Communications, CBN, Mr. Ibrahim Muazu, who said this in a telephone chat with THISDAY on Monday, said the naira remains stable. While the naira closed at N197/$1 at the official market, was sold at N246/$1 at some parallel market points at Marina, Lagos in the evening. But responding to a question on insinuation that there was scarcity of the greenback at the BDC segment of the market,Muazu explained that only operators that render appropriate returns would be allowed to buy forex from the central bank’s auction. The CBN last week suspended about 1,600 BDC operators from participating in its forex auction. The regulator’s hammer fell on the currency dealers over their failure to render appropriate returns on the sale of the greenback. The CBN recently warned banks and the forex dealers to ensure they render effective returns on dollars purchased from its official window or they would be punished. Most of those affected were firms that allegedly gave false bank verification numbers of those they said purchased forex from them. However, Muazu said: “Some of them were not able to buy from the CBN because they did not rendered appropriate returns. If they comply, by giving us appropriate BVNs of those they sold dollars to for proper verification, then they would be sold to. Only those that render appropriate returns would be attended to. “All genuine demands are met and the market has been stable since last month,” he added. A BDC operator, who spoke to THISDAY on condition ofannonymity however said BDCs that were fortunate to purchase the greenback have been hoarding it, thereby creating room for scarcity in the market. A CBN circular dated November 25, 2015, had stated: “It has been observed that a number of the BDCs purchased foreign exchange from the CBN without rendering returns on theirutilisation. Consequently, all BDCs must comply with the following pre-conditions before accessing forex from the CBN window: Rendition of returns on previous week purchases through e-FASS; and physical submission of returns on utilisation. “In addition, all BDCs that purchased forex on November 25 without submitting their returns for the previous week ending November 20 should return the total amount purchased for the week to the bank not later than November 26, 2015, failing which appropriate sanction will be imposed.” Source:http://www.nairausd.com/2015/12/cbn-allays-fears-of-dollar-scarcity.html?m=1 Twitter@nairausd
