OPEC+ Set to Boost Oil Production by 500,000 Barrels Daily in November
OPEC+ is set to boost oil production by up to 500,000 barrels per day in November, according to insiders. This decision, to be formally agreed on October 5, 2025, comes amidst a week of declining prices for both Brent and WTI crude. The move could potentially test this year's lows if prices fail to recover.
Oil prices have been volatile recently. Brent crude futures stood at $64.29 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $60.67 a barrel on Friday. This follows a weekly decline of 8.3% for Brent and 7.6% for WTI. The potential increase in OPEC+ supply, coupled with refinery maintenance and seasonal demand dip, is expected to boost oil stock builds in the U.S. and beyond.
Adding to the market's concerns are potential U.S. government shutdowns and the possible resumption of Iraq's Kurdish oil exports. The Group of Seven nations are also planning to target those aiding Russia's oil purchases, further influencing the stock market.
If OPEC+ proceeds with the production increase, it could send crude oil prices lower, potentially reaching this year's lows. Market watchers are closely monitoring these developments, along with geopolitical factors, to gauge the impact on oil prices in the coming months.
