OPEC’s crude production remained steady for a third month, while some key members continued to pump above agreed limits.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries produced an average of 26.98 million barrels a day in June, or 80,000 a day less than during the previous month, according to a Bloomberg survey. Small reductions in Iraq and Nigeria drove the decline.
