OIL
OPEC+ is set to change its meeting venue for a second time, with ministers now planning to discuss the policy in-person in Riyadh, according to delegates cited by Bloomberg.
- The June 2 meeting was previously scheduled as a video conference after abandoning previous plans to convene at its Vienna headquarters.
- Kazakhstan confirmed May 31 that its energy minister will join the meeting from Riyadh.
- The shift in plans adds interest to a meeting that had been expected to rollover existing production cuts.
- OPEC+ countries have been continuing informal talks to finalise the agreement this weekend.
- Saudi Arabia and its allies are discussing whether to continue to 2.2m b/d of cuts into H2 and even prolong some curbs into 2025, Bloomberg said.
