Reuters was first to report that a meeting of top OPEC+ ministers kept oil output policy unchanged including a plan to start unwinding output cuts from October. The oil producing group took the decision despite sharp oil price falls in recent weeks amid global demand concerns. Brent crude futures fell on the news settling down 1.6% below $80 a barrel.
