Russia is in support of keeping the oil output of the OPEC+ steady from April to May while seeking a small output increase in May for itself, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
Last week, “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.
