Oil prices rose on Friday following OPEC+ decision to keep the voluntary output cut policy unchanged.
Brent crude for April delivery increased 0.31% to $78.94 a barrel at 9:00 am Makkah time.
WTI contracts for March delivery rose 0.23% to $73.99 a barrel.
OPEC stated on Thursday that the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) reviewed today, Feb. 1 the crude oil production data for November and December 2023 and noted the commitment of OPEC and non-OPEC members to the declaration of cooperation (DoC).
