Oil price at under $82 a barrel ahead of key meeting next week     

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and allies, together called Opec+, will meet on December 1-2 to set policy

Opec+ has been adding 400,000 barrels per day of supply since August, unwinding record output cuts made last year when pandemic curbs slammed demand.

Oil prices slipped, as investors eyed how major producers respond to the US-led emergency oil release designed to cool the market and with Opec now expecting the release to swell inventories.

Brent crude futures slipped 34 cents, or 0.4%, to $81.91 a barrel, in thin trading on the US Thanksgiving holiday.
