compliance, said that should be judged on the average at the end of the six-month cut. Al-Marzouq declined to offer any other specifics ahead of a planned committee meeting in Vienna beginning Jan. 21. However, Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar Ali al-Luaibi pledged his country would meet its required cuts by the end of January. Crude oil sold for over $100 a barrel in the summer of 2014, before bottoming out below $30 a barrel in January 2016. Crude oil futures closed at $52.25 a barrel in New York on Wednesday. Producers acknowledged they hoped for higher prices, especially those in the Persian Gulf, whose crude-based economies have been hurting. Also hurting are the oil-dominated economies of Venezuela and Nigeria. Emirati Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazroui said there is “a fair movement” toward higher prices, though it isn’t at a price his nation would like. “The real correction will happen when we see the actions of all of those … concerned nations who came together to try to help the market,” he said. Saudi Oil Minister Khalid al-Falih echoed that viewpoint. “We want moderation. We want to reduce volatility we cannot eliminate it,” al-Falih said. “We also want prices that are supportive of continued production, as well as equally important continued consumption.” However, Patrick Pouyanne, the CEO of French oil firm Total SA, offered a stark warning, saying that there’s a lot still unknown in the market — especially ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. Oil ministers, most notably al-Falih, dodged answering questions about Trump’s protectionist views could mean for international markets. “I’m not sure we fully understand what would be Mr. Trump’s policies, but I’m sure it will be America first,” Pouyanne said.
