Saudi Arabia delays issuance of May crude prices until after OPEC+ meeting – Reuters

Saudi Arabia is expected to host the virtual OPEC+ emergency meeting on Thursday and will be delaying the release of its oil selling price until after the meeting is completed, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing a senior Saudi source familiar with talks.

"Saudi Arabia wants to avoid a repeat of what happened in March where oil talks collapsed due to lack of Russia's cooperation with the rest of OPEC+ participants," the source added. "Saudi Arabia's delay in issuing may crude prices is an unprecedented measure to allow more time to reach out to oil producers ahead of Thursday's meeting.
