Oil prices rose for a second straight session on Thursday, as the possibility that OPEC+ producers might decide against increasing output at a key meeting later in the day lent support alongside a drop in US fuel inventories. Brent crude futures added 27 cents, or 0.4%, to $64.34 a barrel, as of 0308 GMT, after climbing more than 2% on Wednesday. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures gained 19 cents, or 0.3% to $61.47 a barrel. “Prices hinge on Russia’s and Saudi Arabia’s preference to add more crude oil production,” said Stephen Innes, global market strategist at Axi. “Perhaps more interesting is the lack of US shale response to the higher crude oil prices, which is favourable for higher prices.” The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies, together called OPEC+, are considering rolling over production cuts into April instead of raising output, as a recovery in oil demand remains fragile due to the coronavirus crisis, three OPEC+ sources told reporters.
