A sudden end to the voluntary cuts, causing production to surge by 1 million barrels per day in September, would presumably put the oil price under pressure, on the other hand,\u201d Fritsch wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Since it is in Saudi Arabia\u2019s interest to at least keep oil prices stable near current levels, Riyadh could decide to gradually withdraw production cuts, he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/oil-pulls-back-but-heads-for-5th-straight-weekly-gain-d7f03374?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil futures pulled back from three-month highs Friday, but remained on track for a fifth straight weekly gain, lifted by fading fears of a global economic slowdown as supply cuts by major producers take effect.
