US may hike oil output, says Goldman Sachs
Melbourne
US producers battling Opec for market share may increase output further from the highest rate in more than three decades as costs decline almost as fast as oil prices, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
The slump in benchmark US crude futures, which are down more than 40 per cent this year, is driving producers to move drill rigs to lower-cost fields, the bank said on Monday. While there's evidence of some rebalancing starting to occur in the market, that isn't sufficient, it said.
