The oil prices are jumping today by about 5% to levels not seen since 2015, after Saudi Arabia and other non-cartel OPEC, such as Russia and Mexico, have signaled that they favor of a reduction in oil production, of about 600 thousand barrels per day.
This is in addition to the decision taken in OPEC conference in Vienna in late November, to reduce the oil quotas by 1.2 million barrels a day.

The price of the oil is now falling by 3.9% to a price level of 45.2 dollars per barrel, at the background to what looked like a break-up of the summit attempt to decide tomorrow on OPEC output reduction.
Iran’s oil minister announced that his country doesn’t intend to sign a pledge to reduce the output and that the intention is only to leave the production levels as they were at OPEC meeting in September.
