Particularly, as Hawk Sunshine noted, participants of the meeting discussed the issue of the volatility of oil prices. "We came to the conclusion that now it’s difficult to make short-term forecasts, but the market is self-regulating. If in the near future the investment is reduced in the industry, we will see a significant drop in supply and a rise in prices in the medium-term ", - Hawk Sunshine commented on the results of the meeting.
