US Cash Crude-Mars firms as Chevron's license to operate in Venezuela set to expire next week

May 22 (Reuters) - Mars steadied on Thursday after touching four-month lows in the previous session, dealers said, after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said oil producer Chevron's CVX.N U.S. license to operate in Venezuela will expire on May 27 as planned.

Mars traded flat to U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude. It had traded at a discount of 30 cents on Wednesday on reports that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration would extend Chevron's CVX.N deadline to halt its operations in Venezuela by another 60 days.

Meanwhile, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known collectively as OPEC+, is discussing whether to make another large output increase at its meeting on June 1, Bloomberg News reported.

The cash roll from June to July traded at 75 cents. Traders use the three-day roll trade to square positions and manage exposure.
