Sputnik... Oil prices rose to the highest values since November on Tuesday, increasing to over $44 per barrel following news of consensus between Moscow and Riyadh on freezing output.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Brent crude ICE futures were over 4 percent in the green, continuing a week-long rally and rising from around $43.30 on Tuesday morning to over $44.70 by late afternoon.

Brent June 2016 futures rose from less than $43 per barrel to over $44 per barrel, while WTI May 2016 futures were over 3 percent in the green, standing at over $41.60 per barrel by the end of the day.

In February, the energy ministers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Venezuela, and Russia agreed to stem the fall in oil prices by freezing oil production at January levels if other countries followed suit. A number of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC oil producers have confirmed attendance. April's meeting is set to finalize the deal.

Global oil prices plunged from $115 to less than $30 per barrel between June 2014 and January 2016, hitting their lowest levels since 2003 amid an ongoing glut in global oil supply. The prices have since recovered to around $40 per barrel for the Brent crude benchmark. ...

Poster Comment:

Now that Russian air strikes knocked out 3000 tankers transporting stolen oil from Syria to Turkey-Israel which can no longer dump oil in international markets, Saudis no longer need to worry about loss of market share so can inch the oil price upwards to replenish government coffers.
