Russia and Saudi Arabia agree deal on oil output cuts: Report OPEC members are on Thursday set to discuss 'deep cuts' of up to 20 million barrels per day By MEE and agencies Published date: 9 April 2020 14:40 UTC Last update: 18 min 21 sec ago
Russia and Saudi Arabia have overcome all hurdles to cut oil production at a meeting of OPEC, ending a month-long price war. Oil prices jumped after Reuters reported that the two countries have agreed to a "deep cut" in crude production. OPEC and other oil producers were set to debate on Thursday oil cuts as big as 20 million barrels per day (bpd), equivalent to about 20 percent of global supplies, one OPEC source and a Russian source told Reuters. "That is a global deal," the OPEC source said. He did not specify if the United States would be involved - something Russia and OPEC producers have insisted on. A worldwide lockdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic has cut fuel demand by roughly 30 percent and contributed to a crash in prices that took major benchmarks down by more than two-thirds. Prices surge Prices surged over 10 percent earlier on Thursday as producers appeared set to cut production sharply, but the exact details of the cuts remain unclear. The OPEC and allies including Russia - a group known as OPEC+ - were in talks on Thursday to cut production sharply, with numbers as high as 20 million bpd bandied about, OPEC and Russian sources said. That would be equivalent to about 20 percent of global supplies, to support prices hammered by the coronavirus crisis. However, it is unclear if a figure that lofty includes cuts made for economic decisions by private producers in the United States, Canada and elsewhere, or if OPEC assumes those countries will mandate cuts, which the US has not wanted to do. A cut of 20 million bpd would be by far the biggest output cut ever agreed by OPEC. But Russia has insisted it will only reduce output if the United States joins the deal. US laws prevent coordination among private companies. Analysts, meanwhile, said that even if such record cuts are agreed, they will not be enough. "Ultimately, the size of the demand shock is simply too large for a coordinated supply cut," analysts at Goldman Sachs said on Thursday. Following the OPEC+ meeting, energy ministers from the Group of 20 major economies are set to meet on Friday. The last OPEC meeting in early March ended acrimoniously, with Russia and Saudi Arabia unable to come to an agreement to curb output as the virus spread, adding to the slump in prices. A source briefed on Saudi Arabia's oil policy said it is ready to cut up to 4 million bpd of its production, but only from its record output levels of 12.3 million bpd achieved in April. Russia has said it wants output to be cut from the January-March levels before Saudi production jumped.
Opec producers and allies have agreed to cut output by more than a fifth to counter the slump in demand caused by coronavirus lockdowns. The group said it would cut output in May and June by 10 million barrels to help prop up prices. The cuts will then be eased gradually until April 2022.
Opec+, made up of Opec producers and allies including Russia, held talks on Thursday via video conference. Talks were complicated by disagreements between Russia and Saudi Arabia.
The group and its allies agreed to cut 10 million barrels a day or 10% of global supplies. Another 5 million barrels is expected to be cut by other nations.
It said the cuts would be eased to eight million barrels a day between July and December. Then they would be eased again to six million barrels between January 2021 and April 2022. Oil prices slumped in March after Opec+ failed to agree cuts .
In the wake of the March meeting, Saudi Arabia and Russia moved to boost production in order to retain market share amid falling global demand. That, together with the collapse in demand for oil amid the coronavirus pandemic, help to push oil prices to 18-year lows by the end of March.
Prices have recovered some ground since then. Last week, prices jumped 20% after US President Donald Trump said he expected Saudi Arabia and Russia to end their feud.
Thursday's talks will be followed by a conference call on Friday between energy ministers from the G20 countries. It will be hosted by Saudi Arabia.
Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's wealth fund and one of Moscow's top oil negotiators told Reuters: "We are expecting other producers outside the Opec+ club to join the measures, which might happen tomorrow during G20."
The US has not committed itself to any cuts although it did say that its oil output was gradually reducing anyway due to plunging oil prices. President Donald Trump had warned Saudi Arabia that the US would impose sanctions if it did not cut oil production.
The UAE has received an invitation to participate as an honorary guest in the G20 Energy Ministers Meeting, which will be held remotely on Friday, April 10, the Ministry of Energy and Industry said.
@flyover2 ..but barakah hasn't move... unless the 2 sense is the peak? ..hahaha matai lh 10/04/2020 11:15 AM
Those that has collected higher, your option is to average down if you have extra cash. Never use margin..
Price fluctuations is part of the playing fields. All you have to do is to react to it.
Capitalising on this volatility, I collected alot of Barakah shares dirt cheap at 1 sen when many were panic selling, yesterday I sold at 2 sen. Make Handsome profits and retain some holdings as I want to be part of their turnaround story just like what Armada and KNM faced last year. Silent Mary Barakah which is my weakest PN17 Battleship has now turned into a positive and profitable venture.
Now I just have to wait for the Regulation Plan promised by the CEO. Barakah has registered positive QR recently.. Once they announce the Regulation Plan, it will rocket like my Royal Fortune Icon..
Like always, it's your call. You decide what's best for you. Those who has not enter, please continue to stay on the side lines and keep cheering for us. We certainly need some cheering during this volatile period..
looks like we just need to wait for outcome of Opec + meeting ... if saudi, russia, USA can reach an agreement on output cut or even bigger cut , all oil counters will shoot up ! If all parties can't reach an agreement and continue their price war, good luck for those oil investors !! I think scenario 1 is more likely than 2, who wants to lose money ? IF oil price go down further and drag on, all oil producing countries will sink together and ecoomics in deep trouble ! and yet Trump won't let his happen and he will do whatever it takes to make sure the output cut happens quick and fast !!!! Threat to impose tariff on saudi's oil, lifting sanction against russia to sweeten the deals etc ... I help you you help me , you screw me i screw you ....
Unfortunately, general sentiment is that price is not gonna shoot up even if every opec members are cooperating (including troll mexico). Probably need to have some patience if buying in this time
This is unprecedented. The event brought all together including OPEC Member, Russia, US, CANADA, NON-OPEC FROM ASIA,EUROPE, AFRICA, CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.This is going to be the biggest deal ever.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
