RE:Re;Balancing opec
Simple: for all barrels OPEC does not pump, the price of oil will go up and the US shale and non-OPEC members will start pumping again. Saudi Arabia is running budget deficits and paying foreign workers with IOUs. They have to keep selling oil no matter the price and they can't starve the market because Russia, Iran and the US will step in. Facts of life. All this OPEC talk is pure market manipulation. The only thing that could save oil is the glut being either a red herring (non-existent) or magically taken off the books. This is a bear market being high-jacked
