Additional OPEC cuts could be on the horizon as Saudi Arabia and Russia remain open to further action, according to a report by Bloomberg.

In a joint statement, the Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and Saudi Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said they will be "closely monitor[ing] the oil market and are prepared to take further measures jointly with OPEC+ and other producers if these are deemed necessary."
