Economic calendar: Oil traders wait for OPEC decision

  • OPEC meeting in Vienna

  • BoE and BoC Governors scheduled to speak

  • US hard data for January

OPEC meeting

Group of major oil producers will meet today in Vienna to discuss response to recent developments in the oil market. It looks like an output cut is a done deal after crude price plummeted 20%. The question remains how deep the cut will be. Saudi Arabia is said to be pushing for an over 1 mb output cut but others may not agree. Anything below that could be a disappointment for oil traders.
