Iran's oil minister said the OPEC+ cut would likely continue at the December 5 meeting and that the group would also consider output levels after March 2020. He said OPEC would cut the volume it puts up for sale.
The statement is an official expectation ahead of the meeting.
Expectation of continued cuts supports crude prices and limits supply growth into 2020. Energy-linked costs for feed and biofuel feedstocks would be affected if the cuts are extended.
