Oil prices rose on Tuesday after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) said it has been sticking to an output cut agreement and hoped to see higher compliance in the future.
OPEC Secretary General Mohammad Barkindo said that January data showed conformity from participating OPEC nations with output curbs had been above 90 percent and that oil inventories would decline further this year, according to media reports.
Barkindo said all countries involved remained resolute to achieve higher level of conformity, media reports said.
