OPEC and its allies, a group known as OPEC+, is expected to extend the current oil output cuts by at least one month, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing an OPEC delegate.

"Those nations which did not meet quotas will be compensating in the July to September period," the delegate told Bloomberg. "The aim from OPEC+ is to move the oil price curve into backwardation."
