Oil rises on supply cuts – Newspaper

HOUSTON: Oil prices rose on Monday after top exporters Saudi Arabia and Russia reaffirmed their commitment to extra voluntary oil supply cuts until the end of the year.

Brent crude futures rose $1, or 1.2 per cent, to $85.89 a barrel by 12:13 p.m ET (17:13 GMT), while US West Texas Intermediate crude was up $1.11, or 1.4pc, at $81.62.

Saudi Arabia confirmed on Sunday it would continue with its additional voluntary cut of 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in December to keep output around 9 million bpd, a ministry of energy source said.

Russia also announced it would continue its additional voluntary cut of 300,000 bpd from its crude oil and petroleum product exports until the end of December.

“Russia and Saudi have an iron clad agreement to stay with the same supply constraints into the end of the year, and yet demand for fuel continues to be stronger than most analysts have anticipated, keeping a good bid underneath the crude prices,” said

Dennis Kissler, senior vice president of trading at BOK Financial.
