IEA says oil prices might have bottomed out | Reuters

IEA says oil prices might have bottomed out | Reuters:

"Oil prices might have bottomed as output in the United States and other non-OPEC producers is beginning to fall quickly and an increase in supply from Iran has been less than dramatic, the International Energy Agency said on Friday.

The IEA, which coordinates energy policies of industrialized nations, said it now believed non-OPEC output would fall by 750,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2016 compared to its previous estimate of 600,000 bpd.

U.S. production alone would decline by 530,000 bpd in 2016, it said."
