Amid reports that Russia will lower oil output, crude prices were up more than 2.2% with global benchmark Brent crude at $86.50 and US benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude at $79.82 per barrel.
Moscow announced earlier Friday that it will voluntarily reduce its oil production by 500,000 barrels per day in March, which is equivalent to approximately 5% of its total output, pointing to the price ceiling policy, according to multiple reports.
G7 and EU member countries agreed in December on a $60 per barrel cap for Russian crude exports transported by sea, aiming to hit Moscow's revenues from oil exports and sales during Russia's war against Ukraine.
