It was intended to be the way out of a misery. What was, until recently, viewed as unrealistic by experts, could happen next week. Opec will reduce oil production and also cap output. The cartel is looking to finalize this agreement within one week. The largest members, Saudi Arabia and Iran, were particularly divided. The political and religious differences in the countries causing negotiations to fail. Oil prices reacted positively to this surprising news, and were able to gain 10% in recent days. The oil production cap of 800 000 barrels has more of a psychological effect, in effect amounting to 2.4% of production. Viewed in regard to worldwide production, this reduction amounts to 0.8%.
