RIYADH: Oil steadied on Monday, after rising for three straight weeks, as looming supply cuts from Saudi Arabia and other producers of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC+, balanced concern about weakening global growth that may dampen fuel demand. Crude last week jumped more than 6 percent, a third weekly gain, after OPEC+ surprised the market with a new round of production cuts starting in May. Brent crude was up 9 cents or 0.11 percent to $85.21 a barrel at 11.00 a.m. Saudi time, while US West Texas Intermediate crude gained 15 cents to $80.85.
