No date yet for OPEC+ emergency meeting – Reuters

No meeting has yet been set up between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC producers, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing OPEC sources.

Meanwhile, a Wall Street Journal reporter, via Twitter, said Saudi Arabia was considering an oil-output reduction to below 9 million barrels per day if other producers join the effort.
