OPEC has never taken supply cuts so seriously, and hedge funds are loving it.
Investor optimism that West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices will rise reached an all-time high as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries delivers on pledges to reduce production. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said the group has achieved a record 90 per cent initial compliance with an output accord.
