Oil Up on Saudi Commitment to Cut; U.S. Output Seen Rising

Oil prices settled up on Monday, as Saudi Arabia’s commitments to reducing production offset a report forecasting U.S. output would again rise this year. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has agreed to cut production by 1.2 million barrels per day to 32.5 million bpd from Jan. 1 in an attempt to clear a global oversupply that has depressed prices for more than two years.
