Iraq's prime minister said the country has not yet reached its full oil market share, suggesting his government would not restrain crude output as part of any possible OPEC agreement to lift prices. "And the capping, we are not open to that because Iraq is still below what it should produce," Haider al-Abadi told reporters, responding to a question about whether the second-largest OPEC producer would be open to such a deal.
