LONDON, May 3 (Reuters) - OPEC+ has confirmed it will
hold its June 4 policy meeting in person in Vienna, four sources
familiar with the matter said on Wednesday as oil prices slid.
Sources said there had been some discussion in the group
about convening the meeting virtually, since ministers will be
travelling to Vienna for the OPEC seminar in July.
However, two sources familiar with the matter said on
Wednesday the meeting will go ahead in person.
Several OPEC+ members in April announced voluntary
production cuts that take effect in May, but oil prices have
continued to fall on concern about economic growth and interest
rate hikes.
Oil fell 4% on Wednesday, extending steep losses from the
previous session, towards $72 a barrel for Brent crude. (Reporting by OPEC team;
