--Brent oil futures maintained its start-of-trading slide in afternoon Asian trading Monday as investors continued to react to the end-of-week agreement to lift production caps. --August Brent futures were recently down 1.8% at $74.17 a barrel after Friday's 3.4% jump. But light, sweet crude on the New York Mercantile Exchange were off just 0.3% at $68.35 in the Globex trading session after its own 4.6% pop Friday. Both had their best day since late 2016, when the initial output limits were agreed to. --Most of the additional output to come under the revised deal will be produced in Saudi Arabia and Russia. That flow is liable to go primarily to consumers of Brent crude. The production caps helped fuel a sizable price premium between Brent and WTI, said Gnanasekar Thiagarajan, director of Commtrendz Risk Management. It was recently above $10 a barrel.via
