World, from vienna to london, frankfurt to washington come our bloomberg roses are on the ground with all the top stories. In vienna, opec is said to reduce its target as a rock promises to comply. Joining me for more is bloombergs annmarie hordern. But do we know so far . Annmarie good morning. What we know is theyve agreed at the opec allies meeting today to cut by the hundred thousand barrels a day, but the devil is in the details. Brent and wti are both lower. This cut is basically cosmetic. We are still waiting for more details because it just brings the figures on paper to what theyve been producing throughout the year. Some members, including saudi arabia, have been cutting well below their target. That was the message from ben salman thisfrom bin morning, and his first meeting is energy minister. He said further compliance is needed. Everyone in the room knew he was talking about, even though he didnt name and shame. The message was simple. Stop cheating. Alix indeed. Thank you
Morning. Education secretary rick perry calling it a deliberate attack on the Global Economy. Plus oxycontin maker, pharma filing for bankruptcy this morning. First up, though, a series of attacks on two of the Worlds Largest Oil Facilities in the news the u. S. Is rejecting that notion saying the scope and the precision of the attack suggests the launch was made by the houthis but, in fact, originated by iran.

Arabias oil facilities. If the outage is extended or if military action is employed, what could the further fallouta. First, welcome. This is the first time that you hosted the show. And your father is watching. So your daughter, the whole hour mike evans why did i say mike evhe have evans. Too bad we are live are you the best and what is the fallout im surprised the market didnt trade off more over the weekend im like 25, 3 almo handle easy but none of it really happened airlines down a percent and a half and so to me this is actually a very encouraging day and this is from somebody whos th has been bearish for a while. Encouraging that is regards to the market last week we had a pretty hot inflation print. And so when you think about this, when you see crude oil go up the way that it did and the dollar stay big, to me that poses some sort of issue could be a really interesting fed day wednesday. We know the administration doesnt the rates where it is. So it could be an interesting we
