Reuters OPEC meeting in Vienna kicks off ThursdayOil prices moved firmly higher Thursday as the highly anticipated meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries about whether or not to extend production cuts was about to kick off in Vienna. An extension to the current agreement is widely expected, but the question is for how long and if any deeper cuts will be announced. “While markets are expecting a 9-month extension to the group’s current agreement, a deepening of cuts would fuel bullish sentiment, whereas anything shorter than 9 months would likely see prices fall,” said analysts at Accendo Markets in a note.via
