Global oil benchmark Brent rises to highest since March


The increase means the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia, a group known as OPEC , would move to cutting production by 7.2 million bpd, or 7% of global demand from January, compared with current cuts of 7.7 million bpd

The increase means the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia, a group known as OPEC+, would move to cutting production by 7.2 million bpd, or 7% of global demand from January, compared with current cuts of 7.7 million bpd.
