Saudi Arabia says will extend voluntary oil cuts (update: report withdrawn)

  • Oil jumps on the headlines (later gives it all back as the headline is withdrawn)

The previous surprise announcement was that they were going to extend the voluntary cuts to August. But the latest one here trumps that by some margin as they will be extending it to the end of next year instead. Oil has jumped on the news with WTI crude having been down 1.5% to $74.10 but is now trading positive near $76.00:

Update: The newswire that reported this news quickly withdrew the headline and the report, sending oil quickly back lower.
