Qatar’s energy minister, the current OPEC president, said world oil
markets were “responding positively” to output cuts implemented by the
cartel and some non-cartel producers.
“I think the market is responding positively and you can see the drop in supply,” Mohammed Saleh al-Sada told reporters.
OPEC and non-OPEC producers led by Russia agreed in December to cut
output by nearly 1.8 million barrels per day, initially for six months,
starting from the beginning of this year.
