Last night, OPEC and its allies extended oil production cuts for 9 more months after last year's landmark agreement failed to eliminate the global oversupply or achieve a sustained price recovery.
The producer group together with Russia and other non-members agreed to prolong their accord through March, but no new non-OPEC countires will be joining the pact and there was no option set out to continue curbs further into 2018.

Last night, the price recorded its day high of $51.43 which briefly broke the $51.38 resistance level before settling at $51.13 during market closed.
The volume transacted associated with the price action slightly below average with the total amount of 561,671.
However, yesterday's price action and volume showed there is a possibility lack of demand from the market to break thru' the resistance.
Going forward, watch for strong volume and price action to overcome this resistance level.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and its sibling, the Growth Enterprise Market, have become a breeding ground for paper billionaires.
In the past three years alone, perhaps as many as a dozen executives, many from mainland China, have amassed billion-plus wealth as their companies’ share prices soared, usually for no apparent reason.
The executives and their companies haven’t been accused of wrongdoing.
But the phenomenon has raised flags for Hong Kong regulators, who warn that the stocks can be susceptible to manipulation, particularly when few of the shares are in the public’s hands.

Last weekend, Bloomberg reported U.S. drillers have dramatically reduced their hedging activity, a move that could portend a break in the production gains that
have upended global crude prices.
The relative cost of options protecting against a drop in West Texas Intermediate crude has fallen to its lowest since August, thanks to a big drop in producer hedging.
Hedging contracts lock in payments for future production. U.S. drillers
signed onto such agreements in droves late last year, after an OPEC-led
deal to cut output raised prices. The Catch-22 is that the guarantees
gave drillers the security to boost output, undercutting the rally. Now,
futures have languished to the point that the industry’s favorite
financial safeguard no longer makes economic sense.
