In the international markets, Brent crude traded around $64 a barrel which was more than 20 per cent up from the start of the year and not far from this year's high of around $71, as per a report in news agency Reuters. The prices have been attributed to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) meeting on Thursday where the group agreed to ease oil output cuts from May. Deep cuts had been put in place by OPEC+ after the coronavirus pandemic resulted in the collapse of oil prices in 2020.
