OPEC sec gen on the wires with a word of caution

  • OPEC and non-OPEC should work together to tackle market surplus
  • sees 2016 oil demand growth of 1.3m bpd
  • sees "some light at the end of the tunnel"

Meanwhile IEA head Birol says 2015 oil upstream investment drop is highest in history

  • OPEC sec gen says $650bln cut in upstream investment
  • means less supply in very near future and high prices
  • we are in extreme of low oil price, I hope it will not last

Oil market indeed upstream without a paddle . Oil prices making small gains off their lows on the news but nothing of note
