Oil prices jump 2% ahead of producers' meet

Members of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and some other producing countries including Russia met in Vienna over the weekend to establish a mechanism to verify compliance with a deal to cut 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) of output, Opec told Reuters.
