OPEC meets Russia and allies to agree oil output boost

OPEC meets Russia and other allies on Saturday to clinch a new deal raising oil output, a day after agreeing a production hike within the group itself but confusing the market as to how much more oil it will pump.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced its OPEC-only agreement on Friday, but gave no clear output targets. Russia and other non-OPEC oil producers will now meet OPEC in a bid to secure their participation in the pact.
Benchmark Brent oil rose by $2.5 or 3.4 percent on Friday to $75.55 a barrel.
