Nobody wants to cut production, unless everyone else does so too. Otherwise they're just giving up a chunk of their revenue stream for a negligible rise in prices. It's a classic prisoner's dilemma game.

Anyway, OPEC+ did cut production, a little bit. The market is saying it's not enough, at least in the near term.



Surely when storage is full you do start to want to stop production?


That's what producers would do in a competitive and rational market, but oil is not that. Oil is notoriously anti-competitive and political.
