"Oil futures settled higher Friday, with U.S. prices posting a gain of 9.6% for the week. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies on Thursday made moves to ensure that certain countries make up for failing to fully meet their output-cut targets last month.", said David Madden, market analyst at CMC Markets UK. "The historic cut in output was a sign the nations mean business, and now that the group is putting pressure on countries that are not fully complying, it reinforces the idea that the group is determined to boost the price." - MarketWatch at 3:35 PM ET
