Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said the global “market is oversupplied” with crude even as the world’s largest oil producer cut output last month by more than 800,000 barrels a day.

“Our production in February was 9,125,100 barrels a day,” al-Naimi said, as he arrived in Kuwait for a conference. “In March, it was 8,292,100 barrels. It will probably go a little higher in April. The reason I mention these numbers is to show you the market is oversupplied.”
