OPEC+ agreed to cut its output by 1.4 million bpd at a Vienna meeting on Sunday, extending output cuts into 2024 despite flagging prices. Sources said the group would likely roll over 2023 policy and make further 2024 reductions once new production baselines are agreed.
The move comes amid concerns about a looming supply glut.
Output cuts aimed at offsetting a supply glut support crude prices, though the deal's effect depends on members actually complying. Crude prices feed directly into diesel and freight costs for feed buyers.
