Cartoon of the Day: Freezing? - OPEC cartoon 08.24.2016

Oil prices popped yesterday on rumors that Iran might support an OPEC oil production freeze. "In our view it is still too soon for any change in OPEC production policy," Hedgeye Potomac Senior Energy analyst Joe McMonigle wrote yesterday. Shortly thereafter, a spokesman for the Iranian Oil ministry said the country hadn't even decided whether to attend OPEC talks next month. Oil prices quickly faded and are down almost -3% today.
