I think the futures market turning negative has forced more producers globally to cut down production. Hence the small recovery.
The 9.7mil opec cut comes in effect 1st May. Although not enough, alongside the forced closures due to prices it should overall help spot price of wti/Brent. A
Stateside if congress allows then trump can add 75mil barrels to thier strategic petroleum reserves. This is important because that is the entire capacity at crushing oaklahama which is close to filling up.
The negative prices were neccesary but overdone to wake the sector up. Those in Congress blocking trump filling thier reserves will also have took note.
Short term oil is still volatile. Dyor.
