Earlier CNBC-TV18 has reported that crude prices had rebounded from 16-month lows on expectation that OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) would trim output to stem a slide in crude prices in its meeting scheduled today in Vienna.
Ahead of the meet, OPEC President said that the cartel will cut oil output, but the size is still undetermined.
Gulf OPEC countries want supply cut of about one million barrels per day (bpd) while Iran has asked for about two-three million bpd.
Many traders say that they want a cut of at least two- three million bpd to stem the slide in prices, other wise this market could see the test of USD 50 per barrel soon.
