SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results discuss the general topic of oil price analysis and forecasts from sources like IEA and OilPrice.com, but none of the provided snippets contain the specific statement or context required to verify the claim that 'the majors will report next week on the actual impact of high oil prices.' The evidence is thematic rather than direct confirmation of the claim's timing or content.
