  • 05 12月 2019

  OPEC+ gathers today and tomorrow to decide if the group should roll over its production restraint agreement or consider deeper cuts. The current agreement to reduce output by 1.2 million b/d runs to end March 2020.

The need for production restraint is clear. Slower US production growth is not enough to offset the ongoing imbalance between global supply and demand.”
