Opec says oil glut 'may ease' by 2017 as non-cartel supply drops

VIENNA - Opec said Friday a global crude glut that has squeezed the market and sent prices plunging over the past year "may be easing" as a result of countries outside the oil producing cartel dropping their production.

"There have been consistent signs of declines in non Opec-production which should likely flip the global oil market into a net deficit in 2017," the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries noted in its May report.
