The energy ministers from Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar, and Venezuela agreed to freeze oil production at January levels following a meeting in Doha, Qatar. The agreement comes in response to falling oil prices which have forced oil-producing nations to revaluate their production strategies. According to reports, the freeze will only occur if other oil-producing nations also join the agreement. Oil prices rallied in response to the news.
