Brent crude jumps by more than 5% after major oil countries say they will cut production.

A spokesperson for the US National Security Council said: "We don't think cuts are advisable at this moment given market uncertainty - and we've made that clear."

Russia is selling oil at a discount, with revenue sagging at the start of this year.
