Reuters conveying a statement from Iraqi Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar, to the effect that:

  • the OPEC+ meeting has been postponed until Friday
  • is to enable completion of consultations and discussions, so they work towards agreement

I posted earlier on this delay here:

It seems the UAE has alternative proposals to be further discussed, along the lines:

  • UAE wants to increase its production significantly
  • cuts would have to come from Russia and Iraq to accommodate the higher UAE output
