Fitch Ratings said on Thursday that OPEC took big steps towards market rebalancing after compromising a cut deal.
“OPEC's agreement to cut production by 1.2 million barrels of oil per day, and the potential agreement to cut with non-OPEC countries, should help accelerate market re-balancing and increases the chances of more rapid oil price recovery than previously expected,” according to Fitch report.
