OPEC's Path From Oil Freeze to Output Cuts Is Far From Clear - Bloomberg Business

OPEC's Path From Oil Freeze to Output Cuts Is Far From Clear - Bloomberg Business:

"Saudi Arabia said its accord with Russia to cap oil production was “the beginning of a process,” but the path from a freeze to the output cuts needed to eliminate a global surplus is far from clear.
When Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi suggested that the agreement in Doha was a prelude to “other steps,” he fanned hopes that the kingdom’s resistance to production cuts was finally weakening. Oil’s recovery from a 12-year low last month was fueled by speculation that major producers were finally building a coalition that could work to end the glut.
The problem with using a production freeze as the bedrock for deeper cooperation is that none of the parties involved have to make any effort to comply."
