Saudi oil minister does not see OPEC opposition to output cut extension

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said on Monday he did not expect any opposition within OPEC to extending oil output cuts for a further nine months, speaking after he met his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad.

The Saudi minister told a news conference that a new oil output deal would be similar to the previous pact with minor changes. He said any decision would not be finalised until an OPEC meeting later this week.
