Oil prices fall on high production despite planned OPEC output cut

Oil prices fell away from $50 per barrel on Monday despite an agreement last week by exporters to cut output, with traders doubting the step was enough to rein in production that has exceeded consumption for the better part of three years. Brent crude futures were trading down 25 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $49.94 per barrel at 0205 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures were down 26 cents, or 0.5 percent, at $47.98 a barrel.
