OPEC+ Boosts Production, Sparking Oil Market Concerns

OPEC+ has announced an increase in production volumes starting November. This decision has sparked concern among stock market investors, who fear an oversupply. Commerzbank's Thu Lan Nguyen has expressed that this move comes at an unfavorable time, potentially putting downward pressure on gold price today.

The oil cartel's decision to increase production has been met with mixed reactions. While some analysts view it as a cautious and prudent move, others worry about the impact on global inventories and diesel margins. Energy analyst Vivek Dhar predicts that if inventories rise and diesel margins fall, the Brent price could range between 60 to 65 US dollars.

Oil prices have been volatile in recent days. They rose slightly on Monday but came under pressure on Tuesday, reflecting the stock market today's uncertainty about the production increase.
