International crude prices were trading with gains this Thursday morning and early afternoon trade in Asia amid hopes that OPEC and its allies would decide to keep output curbs in place as some regions face COVID-19 infections which has prompted lockdowns and restrictions.
Ministers from the OPEC and allies will meet later on Thursday to consider options that include an output roll-over and a gradual output increase.
Meanwhile, U.S. crude production fell in January, official figures showed, helping to support prices. U.S. output fell to 11.08 million bpd last month, down from a revised 11.101 million bpd in December.
