OPEC Output Cut May Not Drain Supply

The video discusses a technical meeting in Vienna involving OPEC and non-OPEC countries, including Russia, to implement an agreement from Algeria. The meeting aims to decide on scenarios for oil production cuts or freezes, impacting oil prices. Russia's position remains uncertain, leaning towards a freeze. Internal disagreements within OPEC, particularly with Iraq, complicate the decision-making process. Exemptions for countries like Libya and Nigeria increase pressure on Gulf members, especially Saudi Arabia, to make significant production cuts.
