From the NYT: "Under the agreement, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries along with Russia and other countries will increase production by 500,000 barrels a day in January and, potentially, by a similar amount in the following months. The increase, less than 1 percent of the global oil market"
From WSJ: "The price rout has also laid low big, publicly traded oil companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell PLC, triggering big losses and job cuts. Shell and BP PLC both recently cut their dividend for the first time in years to preserve cash. Chevron Corp. on Thursday said it was joining peers in slashing spending."
Oil companies are an important fixture in all of the most powerful countries in the world. While I fully recognize that the oil industry is a dying one, the financial stress that the majors are currently under is causing them to be undervalued relative to their integration, importance, and efficiency at this point in time.
Higher oil prices from where they currently are is in the best interest of every major economy. It is a perfect time to make this happen given the effectiveness of the almost-approved Covid-19 vaccines.
Just an idea!
