OPEC and its allies have yet to begin formal talks on extending voluntary oil output cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day beyond June, but three sources from OPEC+ producers said they could keep their cuts if demand fails to pick up.
OPEC+ has implemented a series of output cuts since late 2022 amid rising output from the United States and other non-member producers, and worries over demand as major economies grapple with high interest rates.
OPEC+, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other non-OPEC producers, next meets on June 1 in Vienna to set output policy. OPEC did not respond to a request for comment.
