Oil prices rose on hopes that top oil producers could cooperate to stabilise the oil market. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC members could meet to discuss the freeze of the oil production in Moscow on March 20.

The United Arab Emirates' energy minister, Suhail bin Mohammed al-Mazrouei, said on Monday that all oil producer are interested in freezing their production as oil prices are low. That could help to balance the oil market, he added.
