Oil nations to do 'whatever necessary' to balance market - UAE

Oil-producing nations will do whatever necessary to rebalance the crude market depressed by the Sino-US trade tensions and an uncertain global outlook, the United Arab Emirates' energy minister said Sunday.

Key quotes

With the US-China trade row hanging over the world economy, additional output cuts may not be the best way to boost sagging prices.

Oil producers were affected by "other concerns" apart from supply and demand.
