OPEC+ producers likely to hold output steady at April meeting – Reuters

OPEC+ oil producers at April 1 meeting are likely to make similar a decision to the last gathering in March when they held the oil output mostly steady, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing four OPEC+ sources.

"I won't be surprised to hear the view that it is better to be cautious and not add more supply yet," an OPEC+ source told Reuters. "Under these circumstances, any OPEC+ decision to increase production could jeopardise their previous gains in managing the oil market and restoring stability."
