OPEC set to extend oil supply cut as Iran endorses pact - Reuters:
OPEC and its allies look set to extend oil supply cuts this week at least until the end of 2019 as Iran joined top producers Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Russia in endorsing a policy aimed at propping up the price of crude amid a weakening global economy.
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh told reporters on Monday he would support prolonging output cuts by six to nine months. Tehran has in the past objected to policies put forward by arch-rival Saudi Arabia, saying Riyadh was too close to Washington.
“I have no problem with a production cut ... It’s going to be an easy meeting as my stance is very clear,” Zanganeh told reporters upon arriving in Vienna.
