Saudi Arabia and Russia, the two pillars of the OPEC+ oil-producing group, appear to be holding firm in their refusal to increase crude oil production, despite calls to boost supply in order to stabilise highly volatile prices.
The thirteen OPEC members will meet tomorrow, Thursday, with their ten partners from the OPEC+ group, of which Russia is the main member, to take stock of their monthly oil market.
Oil prices have seen several increases since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, reaching at one point $139.13 a barrel for the benchmark Brent North Sea crude oil contract and $130.50 for US WTI crude, approaching an all-time record.
