CAIRO, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Iraqi oil minister Ihsan Abdul Jabbar said in an interview with state TV on Thursday that he expected oil prices to stay steady and reach around $57 in the first quarter of the year.

The minister added that Saudi Arabia's voluntary output cut of 1 million bpd of oil helps to stabilize the market. (Reporting By Ahmed Rashed Editing by Chizu Nomiyama)
