Q: Six seconds warmup time for the first entity framework 6 nonquery From my integration test:
// Act
Stopwatch w = new Stopwatch();
w.Start();
userService.Create(userDTO);
w.Stop();

public void Create(UserDTO userDTO)
{
    var user = userDTO.ToEntity();
    _context.Entry(user).State = EntityState.Added;
    _context.SaveChanges();
}

6,2 seconds to do an "sql insert" is crazy. I already see the application users complaining when they first open a project which they use the whole year. So everyday they have to wait 6 seconds...
I thought the warm up time in EF6 has improved?
Is there anything I can do to improve this miserable behavior?

A: The time is not spent to insert a simple data. EF creates the model in the memory, that is where the time you spent goes.
EF creates Entity Data Model and executes View Generation(not db views) for the first time you do an operation on context. Have a look at this blog post.
Take a look here to improve the performance by using pre-generated views to decrease model load time.
To improve the performance you can initialize your context async when you start your application. Beware the multithreading issues.
using (var context = new MyContext())
{
    context.Database.Initialize(false);
}

A: Ngen will cut that in half.  Entity Framework is not compiled natively.  I have a script that compiles everything in the output directory.  Makes a big difference even when debugging.

Logitech Circle View Doorbell uses Apple tech to take on Ring
The smart video doorbell that's been designed exclusively for Apple users
(Image credit: Logitech)
By Carrie Marshall
published 12 December 20
There's a new contender for the title of best smart doorbell. The new Logitech Circle View Doorbell is a wired video doorbell that's been designed for Apple's HomeKit, and it's a very strong rival to the Amazon-owned Ring Video Doorbell 3 Plus. It's part of a wider product range that also includes wired and wireless home security cameras.
A smart camera with major privacy
HomeKit integration means that Logitech's doorbell can use HomeKit Secure Video. This stores your camera footage on Apple's servers, but that footage is encrypted so that it can only be viewed by you. Even Apple can't see what your doorbell's been seeing, because the encryption happens before the video is uploaded.
Of course, there's no point in securely storing video if the quality isn't good, but the Logitech doorbell delivers on the quality front. It's got a 5MP sensor that records HDR video at 1600x1200, and the camera has a wide 160-degree field of view with a 3:4 portrait aspect ratio so you can get a head-to-toe view of your visitors.
In a nice touch, there's an integrated light strip that not only makes the doorbell easier to spot but which also illuminates anybody who comes within two metres of your door.
The Logitech Circle View doorbell has face recognition based on your iPhone Photos library, so its smartphone alerts can tell you who's at the door if it's someone you know, and you can choose which device(s) you want to be notified on – so for example you can have your Apple TV display a pop-up message or just get your HomePod mini to ping. You can also create Activity Zones to focus on particular areas around your front door.
HomeKit means you'll need an Apple Home Hub
The downside to HomeKit integration is that you're going to need specific Apple devices. The Logitech Circle View Doorbell needs to connect to an Apple Home Hub device in order to deliver all its features, and that means you'll need an Apple TV, iPad, HomePod or HomePod mini.
Your choice of iCloud plan affects how many cameras you can use for the secure video storage. If you have a 200GB plan, you can add one camera; if you have 2TB, you can have up to five cameras. Your cameras' video doesn't reduce your iCloud storage, though.
Logitech's doorbell connects to 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, with support for 802.11a/b/g/n/ac networks. A home internet connection of 2.5Gbps or above is recommended.
Logitech Circle View Doorbell: price and availability
As with most smart security devices there are two prices: one with installation and one without. If you're happy to hook up your own Logitech Circle View doorbell – which shouldn't be hard, as it uses your existing doorbell's wiring – it's $199.99; if you want installation too, that's an extra $100.
You can order directly from Logitech or from the Apple Store. For now the Logitech Circle View Doorbell is only available in the US – we'll let you know if we hear UK pricing.
The downside to it (apart from only work with Apple gear) is that it's only available in a wired version – there's no battery-powered option here, which can be pretty limiting. Right now, Ring remains the best totally wireless smart doorbell option.

Evelyn Gibbs studied at the Liverpool School of Art (1922'26)
and at the Royal College of Art (1926'29).
Credited with making significant gains for women in art and
academia, she was the second woman to win the Prix de Rome for
Engraving (1929) and was elected an associate of the RE in the
same year.
In London, after returning from Rome in 1931, she taught at
a school for handicapped children and later wrote The Teaching of
Art in Schools, which was published in 1934 ' the same year she
was appointed lecturer at Goldsmiths College.
She founded the Midland Group of Artists in 1943 after
Goldsmiths was evacuated to Nottingham, and in that September
was commissioned as an official war artist to record Women making
Munitions, working in Blood Transfusion and in the Women's
Voluntary Service. Seven of the works made during this time are
held in the Imperial War Museum in London. In 1945 she married
Hugh Willatt, later Secretary- General of the Arts Council.

Hematite is said to be very helpful to aid problems in the blood system, and blood disorders such as anemia, and are known to be helpful to assist you to absorb iron.
This crystal is said to aid in the formation of new red blood cells, as it helps the production of blood within the bone marrow and it has a good action to ensure that broken bones or fractures heal properly. If you use it at the solar plexus also known as the power chakra, this energy may enhance your willpower and personal magnetism.
It will help to boost your self esteem and help you to feel better overall emotionally and physically. It may also help to establish peace and harmony in your life.
Agate enhances creativity and strengthens the intellect, making it a beneficial stone for both students and artists. It is also known as a good luck stone. As a stone of harmony, one of the things agate does is balance yin/yang energy.
Agate increases energy. However, because it is a grounding stone, it does not increase energy at all times, but rather enables bursts of energy as needed. In this way, agate is a conservation stone, and enhances longevity.

These are the latest rage for the well-mannered dog and are not to be confused with muzzles. The head collar is similar to a "figure eight" with one strap around the neck directly behind the dog's ears and above his "Adam's apple." The second strap fits around his muzzle, close to the eyes and back of the lips. These fit on the dog's head with the leash attachment under the dog's muzzle. With it, you can gently guide the dog where you want him to go. Because it gives you control of the head – where the head goes, the body must follow.
While wearing a head collar, a dog can still effortlessly pant, drink, eat, and bark. It works on the principle that a regular collar encourages your dog to pull against the pressure on his neck and throat. A head collar works in reverse; by putting steady but firm pressure at the top (scruff) of the neck in much the same manner as a mother dog may discipline her puppies. Even slight pressure at the scruff of the neck and around the muzzle is a correction and leadership method that a dog can understand from the human holding the leash.
Initial training with a head collar should be done under the direct supervision of a qualified trainer, even though a head collar is considered to be far more humane than a pinch or slip collar. When giving a correction, the action of the leash is very different with a head collar than with any of the other training devices. That's why it is so important that you receive proper instruction on its use.
Dogs will have an adjustment period to wearing this collar because it feels funny on their face. There is a right and a wrong way to train a dog while using this head collar. If you just pull him along each time you want him to go "your" way, he will have to come along – you have control of his head. If you want to train him, you must teach him that he can get control over the situation. When you ask him to heel or to walk away from something, he has the opportunity to comply without being forced, and learns to control the halter. On the other hand, if you use the halter to control him all of the time, he will always count on you to drag him away from anything he is trying to investigate.

Chronicling my explorations of a small island by bicycle, on foot or by bus.
Walkathon One
Thu, Aug 8 2013
A hike through Jalan Besar, Balestiar, Serangoon and Geylang.
(Please click on the photos to enlarge them. Unless otherwise stated all photos were taken by me. The route map is at the end. )
We met at the bus-stop outside Lavender MRT, in front of V hotel. Two other adventurers (SJ and SW) had shown up and we three musketeers set off at about 4pm, cutting through the back of V hotel in the direction of Jalan Besar and beyond; the route had been planned in advance. Fortunately, the rain of the day had stopped just in timeJ.
Jalan Besar-Lavender
The Jalan Besar district is described in one of the Heritage trails identified by the National Heritage Board (NHB) so I will only mention here some of the more interesting things that I saw and (mis-) remember. The link to the NHB site is: http://www.nhb.gov.sg/NHBPortal/
The use of the name ``Lavender" for the area of that name was supposedly a joke: A long time ago, the area between the now Lavender Road and Kallang was mostly stinky swampland and a rubbish dump. The cleaning up and re-development of the area led to some creative naming.
In days of yore, Jalan Besar used to be a major throughway: In Malay, ``besar" means ``big" and ``jalan" is "road". Of course the Jalan Besar Stadium, which in its hey-day was the centre for football, is the main landmark of the area.
The Jalan Besar locale has a large number of roads named after the French or British (Kitchener, Petain, Verdun, Somme, Beatty, etc): The colonial powers of the day felt that it was appropriate to name some streets in their colony after their victorious World War-1 generals, leaders and battles (which happened in Europe).
There are some colourfully restored shop houses along Petain road and also elsewhere in the area and beyond. I learnt that it was none other than Stamford Raffles who mandated the structure of shop-houses in his Town plan, in particular the requirement that they have a covered five footway (``lima kaki" in Malay). Photo:
(SW indicated to us some activity near Flanders Square, which is opposite Petain Road. It surprised me greatly to learn that it was a licensed nightbirdie reserve (see Geylang below). I have taken a short cut through this area from Mustafa Center several times and had not noticed anything unusual except that it is very quiet.)
The Holy Trinity Church with unique architecture and history is on Hamilton Road. Here is a photo:
(photo from Google Street View)
Opposite the intersection of Petain and Serangoon Roads is the Indian temple from which the annual Thaipusam walk starts (ending at the Tank Road temple). SW told us that he has been doing the walk for years with a pot of milk balanced on his head, but without the skewers. Photo:
We went behind the HDB flats on the right and found ourselves on Race Course Road. The Sakya Muni Buddhist temple (of ``1000 Lights") was just shutting its doors when we reached. Diagonally opposite it was another landmark, the Leong San temple. Photo of 1000-lights temple:
We headed down Race Course Road and turned north along Balestiar Road passing by the sports and recreation clubs on our left. SW turned out to know a lot about trees and told us how to identify many of those on the roadside. Photo:
(Oh, there used to a horse racing course along Race Course Road. That explains its name.)
Balestiar
The Balestiar trail is another marked by the NHB. I happened to pick up a booklet on it a few days ago at a public library and had browsed through it on my bus ride to the start point of the Walkathon.
Mr. Balestiar was the first American Consul to Singapore. In addition to being a consul, he owned some sugar plantations which bordered the current road named after him.
The official NHB Balestiar Trail starts after the intersection with Moulmein Road. We walked along the left-side of the road and could easily spot the heritage markers for the temples and some Art Deco buildings and restored shop-houses. Photo:
Balestiar Point is a building which apparently made a wave in the 1980's for its cubist design though I doubt anyone notices it much now. Photo:
The Shaw building marks the location of the Malay movie studio (which apparently still exists, dormant, at the back.) where some of P.Ramlee's movies were shot; I remember watching some of those movies on TV as a kid.
We did not explore the side streets of Balestiar, some of which apparently have traditional bakeries, but we did notice some possibly famous eateries (e.g. chicken rice) along the main road. Other than eateries, Balestiar Road is supposedly THE place to go if you need lighting and related fixtures for your home. There were also many shops specialising in bathroom fixtures.
However, for me, the most interesting sight was the Zhongshan Park next to the Sun Yat Sen Villa. The unique landscaping of the park and the panelling of the adjacent buildings gave it an unusual, almost exotic, atmosphere. This extract from Wikipedia perhaps some light on the mystery: ``Zhongshan Park (traditional Chinese: 中山公園; simplified Chinese: 中山公园; pinyin: Zhōngshān Gōngyuán) is a common name for Chinese parks, in honour of Sun Yat-sen, better-known in Chinese as Sun Zhongshan, who is considered by many to be the "Father of modern China". Currently there are more than 40 Zhongshan Parks in China, and some in overseas areas."
Photo: Through the park towards the SunYatSen Villa. The spire of the Burmese temple is in the background.
A path in the park heading in the direction of the Sun Yat Sen Villa highlighted some historical milestones and mentioned the name of Mr. Lim Nee Soon. There used to be a place called Nee Soon in the north of Singapore named after the person who owned some land there (more on this below).
Adjacent to the Sun Yat Sen Villa is a three-story Burmese Buddhist temple with very well maintained gardens and a Bodhi tree. Interestingly, the temple is still called the Burmese temple, as indicated also by the tourist markers along the main road and the NHB booklet, -- rather than a ``Myanmarese" temple. Photo:
(Similarly, Ceylon Road in Joo Chiat is still Ceylon Road though the country is now Sri Lanka.)
But, due to the change from dialect to Mandarin, the locale that for eons was Nee Soon in Singapore is now Yishun (I have since discovered that the community centres in Yishun still use ``Nee Soon" in their name. Hmm, a compromise?)
Novena-Thomson
We headed back to Ah Hood Road, crossed through the Ramada hotel and Balestiar Road to go up Irrawaddy Road.
The name ``Irrawaddy" triggered some memories of school geography lessons --which in the good old days required us to memorise tons of facts about other countries. I remembered it to be a river in Burma. Was it a coincidence that a Burmese temple was nearby?
But then I noticed Shan Road. That too reminded me of Burma and wait, Rangoon Road was not far away! The dots began to connect. A check with the NHB guide confirmed that the area had a Burmese connection, with many other road names (including Moulmein!) being of Burmese origin.
So those ancient geography lessons finally came in useful.
What is on Irrawaddy Road? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some hospitals (SW and SJ admired some flowers by the fence of the Ministry as two policemen watched. The sign only said ``No photos or videos".)
Next, we cut through the Velocity mall and landed on Thomson Road heading south towards Serangoon Road. It is here that I was surprised to learn (from SW) that some Mahogany trees grew along our roads! They have huge pods which burst to disperse their unusual winged seeds.
Along Thomson Road we saw a building belonging to the ``Red Swastika Society". Most people probably don't know that the original swastika symbol is of ancient origin and has some positive symbolic significance in Hinduism and Buddhism. On the other hand, the symbol used by an infamous extremist organisation during WW2 to promote their ideology was actually a mirror-image of the traditional swastika. Photo:
We reached the location of the KK hospital, the place which delivered many Singaporeans. The original KK hospital building is across the road from the current building and is now used by the LTA. ``KK" is short for the original name "Kandang Kerbau", which literally translated means ``Buffalo Stable" (kerbau means buffalo in Malay. The wish to dis-associate from buffalo stables is what probably led to the name truncation for the new hospital). The photo shows the original KK building on the left (behind trees) and the new one on the the right:
Some of you might know that there is not only a Kerbau Road further down but also a Buffalo Road! Why so much reference to buffalos? There used to be buffalo stables in the area. Indeed some side streets off Serangoon Road still have the stables which have been converted to other use now.
As we headed in the direction of Little India MRT, we passed the open field bordering Hampshire Road. As it was a public holiday (Hari Raya) the atmosphere was similar to a Sunday, the area being full with foreign workers socialising and having meals seated on the ground.
An aside: Little India has remarkably few street names of Indian origin. Also the origin of the name ``Serangoon" seems obscure---see wikipedia.
We stopped for a while to look at the only North-Indian temple in the Serangoon area, the Shree Lakshminarayan Temple, and then took a meal break at a restaurant around the corner from Tekka market. (At one point in time Tekka market was re-named Zhujiao centre until public unhappiness caused the return of its dialect name ``Tekka".)
During the meal ,conversation turned to the different ethnic groups and how to identify where people came from. SJ enlightened us on the dress sense of young ladies from China: Different places were influenced by different cultures e.g. European or Korean.
After the meal we walked down the main Serangoon Road taking in the sights and crowds. The intersection with Kitchener Road, leading to the City Square Mall, has a gateway which originally belonged to the New World amusement park in the Jalan Besar area (closed in 1987).
Just after the intersection with Lavender Street is the Kwong Wai Shu Hospital. It sits on the grounds of the original Tan Tock Sen hospital (which is now in the Novena District). Photo:
Lavender-Kallang
We headed down Lavender Street and turned into Kallang Road in the direction of Geylang. On the right is an old temple (1888) built by workers from the gas-works which used to be located near there. I remember the huge blue cylindrical structure (25 storeys!) dominating the skyline in those days. See photos here
The gas-works were shut down in 1998 but parts of the dismantled structure were made into art-work and are visible in the nearby secluded Kallang Riverside Park. This park is the only one I know which has signs in a particular foreign language (not one of Singapore's official languages). This is because the park is popular with foreign workers of a certain country. (Discovered this fact one day when I was cycling through the area).
After passing the Kallang River, Singapore's longest!, we turned into Geylang Road. The restaurants at the initial stretch were doing roaring business with tables spilling onto the road.
Geylang.
We detoured from the main road and walked through some side-streets where some nightbirdies were to be seen. Some of the nightbirdies were probably not independent, as their handlers were probably nearby, but in any case these street nightbirdies, of varying plumage, were unlicensed, as opposed to those residing in the official nightbirdie reserves.
The houses which served as official nightbirdie reserves were clearly marked to distinguish them from private residences nearby. For example, the former had `Welcome" signs on the front, with gates open and the porch brightly lit (often with one of the lights being red). In some cases a smiling birdie-assistant would be outside inviting passer-by's inside. We also noticed that all the official nightbirdie reserves proudly displayed the national flag (it being National Day soon).
The unlicensed nightbirdies on the other hand seemed to congregate near budget hotels which were probably used for privacy when a nightbirdie admirer was found. However the economies of supply and demand seemed to have created other options, with some unlicensed lodgings in neighbourhoods being used by unlicensed nightbirdies and their admirers.
It being a public holiday, the nightbirdie areas were very busy with birdies and admirers of all sorts. At some point we saw some of the nightbirdies scatter quickly as nightbirdie-catchers were seen to approach.
(Earlier in the evening, at around 4pm, when I was on my bus ride to the Lavender meeting point, I passed the main Geylang Road and noticed nightbirdies very obviously posing at several doorways of the shop-houses. It seems that some nightbirdies have adapted to sunlight, or was it a case of the early birdie catching the worm?)
We got back onto the main road and continued walking. Two thirds of the way down Geylang Road it became quiet and we stopped for a drink at a kopitiam before proceeding down to the Paya Lebar intersection.
At City Plaza the other two musketeers decided to call it a day and left by bus and MRT, leaving me to continue the adventure.
(Earlier in the evening, when I was on the bus ride towards Lavender, the City Plaza area was packed with holidaying foreign workers. Now at 10pm on a holiday, it was deserted. City Plaza was a popular place in its hey day a few decades back. Now it is a speciality mall, containing mostly fashion wholesalers though they probably sell retail too). Photo:
Joo Chiat-East Coast Park
I cut through Haig and Onan Roads to make my way south along Joo Chiat Road. Near Joo Chiat Place there were a few nightbirdies socialising with their admirers but otherwise the road was quieter than usual.
As I passed one foot-massage establishment an assistant on the sidewalk asked me if I needed a massage for my tired feet. I was tempted but I decided it would be better to keep my momentum and moved on.
There was a bigger crowd as expected near the intersection of Joo Chiat Road and East Coast Road, with people having a late night snack or tea. I took a P break at the corner mall and then continued on south, through the underpass to the East Coast Park.
There were still quite a number of people at the park, some enjoying a barbecue or fermented veggie/fruit juice.
I headed east and when I was close to the next underpass I got a call from MK who wanted to know if I was planning to night-cycle (it was part of the original tentative plan). However as it was getting very cool and windy, with red skies, suggesting the coming of rain, and me feeling slightly tired, I decided to call it quits and headed home, reaching at about 11.15pm.
Except for the Balestiar-Thomson stretch, in previous adventures I have cycled through each of the other locales mentioned in this walkathon summary. I think I might revisit the Balestiar area by cycle one day, maybe through the Whampoa river connector, to explore some of the side streets I missed on this walkathon.
Overall, the walkathon was enjoyable and we hope to make this a regular event, exploring different neighbourhoods of the little red dot.

Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei Darussalam
UNDP in Malaysia
Two teams to represent Malaysia at UNDP Youth Co:lab summit in Vietnam
Team iReka & WastetoPower will represent Malaysia in the Youth:Colab Summit
40 teams from 20 Asia and the Pacific countries to gather at Summit
Cyberjaya, Selangor 28 January 2019 – Two teams with the idea to create a one stop platform for building and owning affordable houses and a solution that transforms wastewater to energy will represent the country at the inaugural United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Youth Co:Lab Summit in Hanoi, Vietnam this April.
Youth Co:Lab is a UNDP Asia-Pacific youth entrepreneurship initiative to position young people front and center in order to solve the region's most pressing challenges through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In Malaysia, the initiative focussed on three themes designed to explore viable solutions that impact marginalised communities in Malaysia which are Income Generation for Undocumented Persons, Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability and Financial Inclusion for Marginalised Communities.
Co-led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Citi Foundation, powered by Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre (MaGIC), Youth Co:Lab Malaysia was executed in Kuala Lumpur, Sabah and Penang. with a vision to connect young innovators with subject matter experts, leaders and businesses to develop their ideas and business models for social impact within their communities.
The two winners selected were team iReka from the Penang comprising of Muhammad Najhan, 27, Wan Muhamad Fadzli, 23, Mohd Razman, 35, and Cyril Ng, 30, and WastetoPower from the Cyberjaya comprising Muhammad Ikram, 27. iReka will be pitching their idea on designing a one stop platform for building and owning affordable houses while WastetoPower will pitch on their solution that transforms wastewater to energy. The two teams will be receiving weekly mentoring sessions to identify ways to test product, establish traction and to further strengthen their pitch for the finals. All participants will receive up to five mentoring sessions.
Asfaazam Kasbani, Assistant Resident Representative of United Nations Development Programme for Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam said, "The Sustainable Development Goals are now in its third year and to achieve all 17 goals requires the partnership of governments, private sector, civil society and citizens alike to ensure we leave a better planet for future generations.
Recognizing the vital role that youth play in our journey in implementing SDGs by 2030 is the main driving force for UNDP Malaysia to be part of the Youth Co:Lab initiative which is being held simultaneously in 20 countries in Asia and the Pacific."
Asfaazam Kasbani congratulating all the 8 qualifiers from around Malaysia that gathered for the selection in Cyberjaya
Youth Co:Lab Malaysia saw 110 participants, 23 teams in the three legs in Kuala Lumpur, Sabah and Penang. Each leg comprised of a three-day bootcamp, participants were exposed to strategies on piloting their potential innovative solutions, building prototypes, solidifying their impact delivery models and refining their pitching for demo day.
Citibank Malaysia Director of Corporate Affairs, Celina May Benjamin encouraged the participants, "The future is yours. And equipping yourself with the capabilities to build and grow the business of the future, aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, is indeed a contribution you make for the future of economic prosperity of our country. What we do today impacts the future growth, shaping our communities and ultimately the future of generations to come. "
The qualifiers in Malaysia saw six other teams battle it out with the two eventual winners. Among the ideas presented were to provide energy for rural villages by utilising kinetic energy from rivers, income generation opportunities through the conversion of plastic waste into clean energy, reduce the usage of plastic F&B utensils and cutlery, online platform to connect undocumented mothers with short term jobs, discourage the usage of plastic bags through an incentive programme and a solution that turns noise pollution into electricity.
The event was closed by Dr. Anis Mahmud Abdul Samad, Deputy Secretary General, Policy & Entrepreneur Strategy, Ministry of Entrepreneur Development. He commented that the government will continue to connect resources to opportunities, "Impact driven enterprises and social enterprises offer us potential solutions to developmental challenges, creating jobs and becoming a catalyst for inclusive economic growth. At the Ministry, we continue to focus our efforts on cultivating Malaysia's impact driven sectors and connecting those active in these various sectors with available resources and go-to market opportunities. We want entrepreneurs to start thinking of the impact that they are creating by placing a heavy emphasis on the SDGs which will enable Malaysia to compete in the global marketplace and attract top global talent and innovation capital."
Amiruddin Shukor, Acting Chief Executive Officer of MaGIC commented that innovative solutions are key to solving nation's most pressing issues, "We are proud to be in collaboration with UNDP and Citi Foundation to provide the youth of Malaysia with a platform to refine their innovative solutions, contribute to the UN's SDGs and play a vital role in Malaysia's economic development. We want to create 'agents of change' who will transcend boundaries and spearhead a pivotal role in the larger transformational journey of Malaysia."

OPEC+ Alliance Hopes Oil Market Can Absorb Another Output Hike
In the month since OPEC and its allies last met and affirmed plans to keep hiking oil production in January, Dated Brent has risen almost 10%.
The resilient market, which appears to be shrugging off concerns over the Omicron variant, has delegates saying the OPEC+ alliance is likely to approve another 400,000-bpd increase in output quotas for February when ministers meet again on Jan. 4, S&P Global Platts reported.
But with many forecasters still warning of a looming oil glut, delegates say they will maintain a close watch on how market fundamentals shift over the coming weeks.
"We will remain very attentive to the evolution of the market," one said, asking not to be named to discuss private deliberations. "If necessary, we have also the option to meet before the February meeting to revise our decision."
Convening every month, OPEC, Russia and several other allies have been gradually rolling back the record production cuts they instated when the market crashed in spring 2020, and hopes to regain its pre-pandemic output levels by late 2022.
But a roaring comeback by the global economy throughout 2021 had demand outpacing supply for much of the second half of the year, drawing complaints from the US and other consuming nations grappling with soaring energy costs and heightened inflation.
Absent pressure from the White House, OPEC+ ministers might have very well paused their scheduled output increase for January to head off expected seasonal weakness in the first quarter.
After announcing that they would maintain the production hike, ministers took the unusual step of keeping their Dec. 2 meeting "in session", rather than adjourning, to maintain the option of convening at a moment's notice to respond to any deterioration in market conditions.
Crude and refined product prices have eased back from the multi-year highs reached in November, but their continued strength in the face of Omicron may keep the US calling for more relief. Recent disruptions to production in Libya and Nigeria have also bolstered prices.
S&P Global Platts assessed Dated Brent at $78.32/b on Dec. 30, up from $71.95/b at the start of the month.
