Crude oil prices lost traction early Monday after parties to an OPEC-led production deal delayed action on a possible extension until next month. Crude oil prices got support Friday as expectations built that a monitoring committee would agree to extend the terms of a six-month deal to curb production. A joint ministerial committee led by members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and participating non-member states said progress was moving toward full conformity. As of February, parties to the deal were six percentage points short of full compliance. Officials meeting in Kuwait during the weekend said that, despite rising production from countries like the United States, declines in offshore storage and other factors would have a stabilizing impact on the market.
