Weer een beetje steun voor MT & Co
Opec on Wednesday surprised the oil markets by announcing that it would make a small but symbolic reduction in its output because the oil cartel views the market as oversupplied.
Traders had been betting the group, which controls about 40 per cent of world oil production, would maintain status quo, and at best make gradual unannounced reductions in its production.
Instead, Opec, after a five hour session in Vienna, agreed to abide by the production limit it had set for its members in September 2007. This would reduce the group’s production by 520,000 barrels per day over the next 40 days.
If all members adhered to the cut, Opec production would fall back to 28.8m barrels per day.
