Story summary

On Sunday, OPEC+ agreed to maintain November's oil production targets steady, aligning with expectations that no further adjustments would be made until next year. The decision was made by seven core members of OPEC+, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Oman. Gulf producers have been pumping below their output targets due to disruptions caused by the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. Exports from these countries have been fluctuating between 60% to 80% of normal levels recently. Despite recent European diesel reserve releases, Brent crude prices remain above $100 a barrel, indicating that the oil market remains tight despite dropping oil prices earlier in the week. The group is scheduled to meet again on November 1 to reassess market conditions.
