Brent crude rose 14c, or 0.3%, at $43.04 a barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude rose 13c, or 0.3%, to $40.42 a barrel in New York. That supply increase will be offset somewhat by members that did not fulfil their commitments to reduce output in May and June — such as Iraq and Nigeria. They will make up for those shortcomings with 842,000 barrels a day of extra reductions in August and September, delegates said.
