ThunderBlade + 231 TB October 3, 2018 Russia and Saudi Arabia struck a private deal in September to raise oil output to cool rising prices and informed the United States before a meeting in Algiers with other producers, four sources familiar with the plan said. U.S. President Donald Trump has blamed the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) for high crude prices and called on it to boost output to bring down fuel costs before the U.S. congressional elections on Nov. 6. The deal underlines how Russia and Saudi Arabia are increasingly deciding oil output policies bilaterally, before consulting with the rest of OPEC.

Haha I doubt it, too many hedge funds are long right now  Media will probably spin it as, "many still skeptical about if they can raise their output" Edited October 3, 2018 by ATK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

50 shades of black + 254 October 3, 2018 They always can say it's a compensation, like they are already doing. "Saudi Arabia’s energy minister Khalid al Falih said oil output has reached 10.7m barrels a day — the joint highest level on record — as the kingdom moves to increase supply to compensate for the loss of Iranian barrels from US sanctions" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not convinced Washington has much say in it seeing as they cannot control output within their own country like Russia and Saudi. Trump to be fair has helped drive up oil but that was not his intention with the sanctions on Iran. The Saudis and the Russians want to keep oil prices stable around $70 to $80 as they want to avoid a spike up and the inevitable fall down as countries start substituting other forms of energy and materials for oil. Once they change its difficult to get them back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
