The next significant meeting of OPEC and non-OPEC producers will take place later this year. According to Helima Croft, prices are nowhere where the producers want at this point and the real question is, will OPEC make a bigger collective cut and will Saudi Arabia, the driver of OPEC policy, take more on their back or are they able to get better compliance from other producers. Helima provides her views on the oil markets with CNBC.
