<p><span>The price of oil futures returns to register gains today after closing in the red in yesterday's session due to the indecision of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their partners (OPEC +) regarding the maintenance of production cuts in February. Brent futures due in March registered a rise of 1.82% at 1:00 p.m. CET slightly above 52 dollars, the same rise that the WTI, the US benchmark, registered at the same time, trading at above 48 dollars.</span></p>
<p><span>The market is awaiting the decision of OPEC and its partners, which yesterday did not reach an agreement regarding the maintenance of production cuts in February. The organization fears that new restrictions to deal with Covid-19 infections will further slow down the recovery in demand. Saudi Arabia would be in favor of maintaining the cuts, while Russia would like to increase production. This afternoon a new meeting is scheduled to continue the negotiations.</span></p>
