OPEC+, a group of major producers led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, is likely to delay raising the output by 2 million barrels per day (bpd) past January 2021, helping secure a large deficit through the first quarter and the rest of the year, according to analysts at the investment banking giant Goldman Sachs.
