OPEC Oil Output Deal to Have Limited Effect on Prices

According to El Financiero, the current price for Mexican crude for export is $39.69 per barrel, which is the highest price since September 8.

On Wednesday, September 28, OPEC oil producing countries reached a preliminary deal on daily oil output freeze on the sidelines of an international energy forum in Algiers, Algeria.

The output ceiling was set at 32.5-33 million barrels a day for the whole cartel. The date of oil output freeze is expected to be presented at the cartel's upcoming meeting in November. OPEC also decided to establish a technical committee to identify the production volume of individual member-states.

Global oversupply and stagnating demand have caused oil prices to plunge from $115 per barrel in June 2014 to less than $30 per barrel in January 2016. Prices recovered amid Nigerian, Canadian and Venezuelan output outages and growing demand in May, reaching a peak of over $50 per barrel in early June.

Crude prices are currently fluctuating between $40 and $50 per barrel.
