The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries meet on December 5 at the headquarters in Vienna, followed by talks with a group of other oil producers, led by Russia, known as OPEC+.

Monday’s higher opening prices were driven by US national security adviser Robert O’Brien who said on Saturday that an initial trade agreement with China is still possible by the end of the year. The decisive move by China to protect intellectual property was also providing support for the trade talks.
