we will have to see how everything shakes itself out over the next year. while opec was reaching the deal, indonesia suspended its membership in the group. i thought they just rejoined it a couple months ago? [laughter] dan: that is what we all thought. indonesia had been a member of opec for a long time. in 2008 it suspended its membership because it was no longer a net exporter of oil. it was a net importer. it did not think it's needs aligned with the groups. last year there rejoined the group. it was the group's only asian net importer. they talked how they would bridge the divide between producers and consumers in the world. this year, the cost comes along, and indonesia comes out and says cuts don't help, high oil prices are tough for us.

11:11 pm
in doing oil markets between supply and demand really being accelerated. oil demand is forecasted next year at about 1.4 million barrels per day. local oil supply is forecasted to grow prior to yesterday's announcement by about 600 thousand barrels per day. demand is outstripping supply. the balance is coming, but it was taking time. opec's introduction into the story and desire and agreement to cut, we see that equilibrium being established much quicker in the market next year. host: where do you see oil going? right now oil prices are up 10%. we are notously surprised by the immediate response to the announcements. prior to beprices
11:12 pm
about $53 per barrel next year. if the 1.2 million barrels is enacted and enforced, we expect to see prices challenge something like $60 per barrel the first half next year. $58 to be precise. there's a chance we might even see more than that. increased speculation says that non-opec will be part of this deal. all eyes really on russia, explicitly to see what happens there, and the upcoming metering in dover. host: it is curious that russia jumped in as a non-opec member and volunteered off of the table. why did they do that? craig: that is an interesting point. the message is coming out of moscow have been more focused on an oil production spree. the russians have been
11:13 pm
incredibly successful at bolstered introduction in recent years. production from russia is up forecasted towas be up near year. the talk about a cut coming out of moscow, we are cutting from 2017, or are we cutting from the 11.6 million barrels per day. the devil will be in the details with regards to what the russians agreed to. host: craig, stick around for another couple minutes. that's something i want to pick up on for our audience. it is all about the devil looking at the details, and implementation. we continue our discussion after the break. ahead, china's economy shows stability with the latest economy manufacturing pmi.

11:17 pm
i think they have managed to get major concessions out of iraq and iran, both of which were digging their heels until the last minute. i was just doing the math earlier this morning, and it seems if you compared with the ultimate optimistic scenario that iran and iraq were looking for, compared with that, they are both given up close to 500,000 barrels per day they would have otherwise wanted to produce. sachs, commodity had says the deal came as no supplies to him. he thinks the main thing driving it was not the price of crude. >> our view was we expected a deal. one of the key reasons was that the economics, not the politics, were incredibly compelling. they had a rebalanced market in the line of sight. what they had to do was cut production and pulled forward and already balanced market. why did they want to do that?
11:18 pm
the main reason was inventory normalization, not price. host: prudential investment management ceo and chairman warns the deal will not bring the good times back for opec. >> for us who are long-term investors, we tend to look at the group of people who are gathering in vienna, and they are fighting against history. history has spoken, and that is in technology. the cost of producing crude, largely due to fracking, has dramatically changed the marginal economics of oil. it's not going back to where it was. host: let's pick back up with our breast craig mcmahon -- guest craig mcmaghon. you heard from prudential's when trillion dollar manager saying gone.halcyon days are he said we are looking at a $50
11:19 pm
maybe $60 range. -- you said we are looking at maybe a $60 range. what is the review for oil? mentioned, the market coming back into balance, which could see a price around the $60 mark. from opec will be to accelerate that process. what is the cost to produce oil? at that stage, you immediately look to the u.s. as the marginal barrel supplier at the moment. they will revoke the license start to see investment grow again. production from the u.s. has fallen by 600,000 barrels per day. that was the supply response. many ceos suggest the magic number is $60 per barrel. we think a sustained number around $55 per barrel will be
11:20 pm
sufficient to see the u.s. look to remove the last. -- u.s. look to re-mobilize. from the opec perspective, we don't think it is likely you could see significant entries from the u.s. probably until the end of 2017, more likely 2018, which gives them some wiggle room to make these cuts, then evaluate the market in may whether or not they will continue with the policy. host: saudi arabia and the rest of the cartel, you are saying they are banking on these u.s. producers not jumping on? what you call that 55 keller market reentry? if they wanted to get back in now, it would take a couple weeks, not months.
11:21 pm
craig: we would disagree with that. we think that argument is slightly overplayed. a lot of pressure from oil companies. capx is not a lot of new invested until they are comfortable the prices stabilizing at a higher rate. the comfort would have, until you see the cuts come from opec. it does not come because of an itouncement made in march, is because of an investment made in action. once we see the next year, that will be significant. we think it will take longer to mobilize. the companies will have to contract rigs. they will need crews back and running. all of this takes time. we are seeing an increase in activity levels. oilee growth from onshore permeating, and that will take time. host: what is your sentiment on
11:22 pm
the ground. what are you hearing in terms of trustworthiness of this production cap output? the thing is, they have not adhered to previous ones before. cautious optimism would be the immediate response. you are absolutely right it wouldn't be hard to find skeptics that would suggest getting this deal enacted and into practice will be a challenge. a a lot of people will wait and see what is released in late january, to see what has happened on the ground. i think that is a most inevitable. another thing i will say that is different this time is that we have seen a strategy change. ince the oil prices change 2014, it is been all about market share in the
11:23 pm
asia-pacific. we have seen a softening of the policy. to some extent, it has not worked. the saudis have defended the position. we are seeing a new policy coming out of saudi arabia, a policy which is much more price sensitive. the minute we had that shift, the potential for a deal clearly grew. host: that is the great point, especially in the face of china. thank you for this greater insight onto the opec deal, asia-pacific head of research at wood mackenzie. the race for market share in the world as we find out who was leading next. this is bloomberg. ♪

market share as oil consumer. in the iraq and saudi arabia in suppliers to india in october. we have our oil and gas reporter joining us live from mumbai. why has iran become so important for india? iran has become a very important supplier for india in recent times. iran was the second-largest importer -- exporter to india before the sanctions were imposed. they lost market share when the sanctions were imposed. this year when sanctions are lifted, iran will be pushing oil aggressively. on the other hand, india's oil demand is growing at a significant paste. india wants to secure and abroad and its oil sources. building started
