OPEC hopes to include Russia in its pact to cut oil production

Saturday the world’s oil market will focus on Vienna. OPEC has already agreed on a joint supply cut, to push up prices. This next meeting is bring non-OPEC producers into the deal, including the world’s largest producer right now — Russia. The meeting will amount to a very public pledge to not drill, but OPEC would do well to trust but verify. Because there’s a very relevant history of energy market cheating.
