The biggest overhang is actually what’s going on between China and Iran and the idea that we’re struggling to get people to join the sanctions camp on Iranian crude,” said Rob Haworth, who helps oversee $151 billion at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Seattle. “That’s leaving some room for Iranian production to stay a little higher than people may have anticipated.
Iranian oil production could stay higher, becauce China will not accept the sanctions of Donald Trump against the Iran. Donald Trump wants that nobody will buy crude oil from Iran.
If China would buy less oil from Iran, so the iranian companies would reduce the crude oil pumping, because at the sanctions-time-window there is a smaller market to sell the iranian oil.
As a result of less pumping crude oil, the oil price could rise, as there is less crude oil available on the international oil market.

Beijing has declined a request by U.S. envoys to stop importing crude oil from Iran, Bloomberg reports, citing unnamed sources in the know. While this is a major setback in President Trump’s quest of cutting Iranian oil exports to zero by November 4, Beijing, according to the sources, agreed to not increase its imports of Iranian crude.
U.S. officials are traveling around the world to persuade allies to suspend imports of Iranian oil ahead of the sanctions, but analysts doubt the push will be completely successful, as Iran’s return on international oil markets provided a very welcome diversity of oil supplies for buyers from Asia to Europe.https://oilprice.com/Latest-En…l-Despite-US-Request.html
