EXCLUSIVE-OPEC's new price hawk Saudi Arabia seeks oil as high as $100 - sources | ZAWYA MENA Edition

EXCLUSIVE-OPEC's new price hawk Saudi Arabia seeks oil as high as $100 - sources | ZAWYA MENA Edition:

"Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia would be happy to see crude rise to $80 or even $100 a barrel, three industry sources said, a sign Riyadh will seek no changes to an OPEC supply-cutting deal even though the agreement's original target is within sight.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and several other producers began to reduce supply in January 2017 in an attempt to erase a glut. They have extended the pact until December 2018 and meet in June to review policy.

OPEC is closing in on the original target of the pact - reducing industrialised nations' oil inventories to their five-year average. There is no indication yet, however, that Saudi Arabia or its allies want to wind down the supply cut."
