Will there be a production cut or just a freeze or ... ? This was the confusion that led to oil prices lower today.

Russia has kept the word 'cut' out of all supportive OPEC statements calling some to question their commitment to a deal in which their participation is paramount.

Meanwhile, actions speak louder than words as OPEC boosted output last month to a record high all while clamoring for a production cut.

As expectation wane, bunker prices are softening in the primary ports.
