Kazakhstan said it would decide on its oil output cuts after the OPEC+ meeting. The country has persistently exceeded its quota of 1.468 million bpd under the production-curbing agreement.
Kazakhstan's overproduction adds to supply outside the agreed cuts, which limits the price support from OPEC+ curbs. The outcome of the meeting will shape crude's near-term direction.
