OPEC's Badri expects some oil price rebound soon

Oil prices at current levels may have reached a floor and could move higher very soon, OPEC Secretary-General Abdullah al-Badri said on Monday.

"Now the prices are around $45-$55 and I think maybe they reached the bottom and will see some rebound very soon," Badri said in an interview.

Asked about the prospects for Saudi Arabian oil policy under a new king, Badri said: "Saudi Arabia is a stable country, is a stable government, and I think things will be normal."

Saudi King Salman was quick to retain veteran oil minister Ali al-Naimi on Friday, in a message aimed at calming a jittery energy market following the death of King Abdullah. [ID:nL6N0V219H]
