Oil prices set to rise as Opec countries cut output

Apr 18,2020 10:42 pm

Some of The World 's top oil-producing countries have agreed to cut the amount they export in a decision expected to raise oil prices around The World .

Members of Opec + - a group that includes Saudi Arabia and Russia - Said they would slash production by two million barrels per day.

The Group aims to support prices which have fallen as The World economy slows.

A barrel of Brent Crude Oil was trading at $84. 06 in late September - Down from highs of around $130 this spring.

However, news of Opec +'s planned production cut pushed prices up by 1% to $92. 74 a barrel on Wednesday.

" The decision is technical, not political, " United Arab Emirates Energy Minister Suhail al-Mazroui told reporters as members of The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec ) and allies gathered in Vienna to discuss the Plans .
