Reuters spoke with the Saudi oil minister

  • Said he has not discussed any specific action on a production freeze
  • 'No discussions of substance yet' on OPEC production levels
  • Current Saudi oil production is around range of previous month
  • Does not believe any significant intervention in market necessary
  • Demand is 'picking up nicely' around the world

There you have it.

Forget about OPEC coming to the rescue of the oil market.
