Oil gains alongside U.S. dollar weakness, potential OPEC+ action
Oil rallied as the dollar wobbled and markets digested the possibility of OPEC+ cutting production in order to stabilize the volatile futures market. West Texas Intermediate rose 3.7 per cent to over US$93 a barrel while Brent futures surpassed US$100 a barrel as dollar weakness made commodities prices in the currency more attractive. Traders are weighing the potential of OPEC+ decreasing its crude output after Saudi Oil Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Bloomberg 'extreme' volatility is disconnecting futures prices from fundamentals.
