The main issues we will cover in this month's Virtual Round Table are:

  • How does Opec’s output deal change the outlook for oil markets in 2017?
  • How effectively will Opec implement its cut? How much real support can it expect from non-Opec producers?
  • What will be the impact on supply/demand balances and inventory levels?
  • Can Opec unity hold? How could tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran resurface?
  • How will the deal impact on physical supply? Which grades will be cut? Which regional markets will tighten?
