Oil prices soar on global producer deal to cut crude output

Oil prices shot up by 4 % to their highest level since 2015 early on Monday after OPEC and other producers over the weekend reached their first deal since 2001 to jointly reduce output in order to rein in oversupply and prop up the market. 

Brent crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, soared to $57.89 per barrel in overnight trading between Sunday and Monday, the highest level since July 2015.

              U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures also hit a July 2015 high of $54.51 a barrel.

Brent and WTI prices eased to $56.62 and $53.95 respectively by 0317 GMT, but were both still up more than 4 percent from their last settlement. 

 

With the deal finally signed after almost a year of arguing within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and mistrust in the willingness of non-OPEC Russia to play ball, the market's focus will now switch to compliance of the agreement.
