Oil prices slipped on Monday, with Brent falling toward $80 a barrel, as investors waited for an OPEC+ meeting later this week for an agreement expected to curb supplies into 2024.
Brent crude futures fell 42 cents, or 0.5%, to $80.16 a barrel by 0901 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were at $75.05 a barrel, down 49 cents, or 0.7%.
Both contracts rose slightly last week, their first weekly gain in five, underpinned by expectations that Saudi Arabia and Russia could roll over voluntary supply cuts into early 2024 and OPEC+ might discuss plans to reduce output further.
