Although the most important day of the week was to be Friday (December 2) due to the publication of NFP, the session on November 30, also provided a large amount of excitement. Not only because of the rich calendar of macro-economic, but also because of a OPEC meeting . The brief summary of today’s headlines:

OPEC agreement was reached – production will be cut

Before OPEC has taken an official decision, which was handed over during a press conference, the markets reached a series of important information transmitted from behind closed doors. Bloomberg and Reuters competed in publishing comments from unnamed sources, so every hour increasing optimism encouraged markets.

The most important was the information about the agreement to cut daily production by 1.2 million barrels to 32.5 mbd (million barrels per day) from January 2017 year. For bulls on oil those were undoubtedly very good news, indicating that the proposal presented yesterday in Algeria has been fully accepted. Earlier reports said about daily cut of production around 1.4 mbd , however, achieved consensus, is highly satisfactory.

Were confirmed rumors that Indonesia was “asked” to leave the organization – as it is a net importer. Among the markets observers , there are opinions that OPEC very cleverly found a way to reduce the total production of organization excluding one of the members.
