OPEC+ is making progress toward an agreement to delay its oil-production revival by another three months, delegates said.

The group has been holding discussions for the past week on postponing a sequence of supply increases, which is due to commence with an initial hike of 180,000 barrels a day in January. An impending glut is weighing on crude prices.
