The OPEC+ meeting is due to start at 12 am GMT on Thursday and many people with links to the cartel indicate that Saudi Arabia wants to forge a consensus leaning towards another production cut.

Certainly one such country is Russia, which is expected to export up to 700k barrels per day more oil than the arrangements would suggest.
