OPEC+ convened on Sunday and decided to further increase crude production by 137,000 barrels per day starting in November, despite increasing worries about a potential global surplus.

This coalition of significant oil-producing nations has been progressively announcing monthly output increases since April, cumulatively raising production by approximately 2.5 million barrels daily through September.

  • ‘I don’t wish to be petty’: My mom, 94, is leaving her $1 million estate to me, my brother and his daughter. Is that fair?

  • ‘My monthly expenses are $6,500’: I’m 64, have $1.2 million in a 401(k) and two mortgages. Can I afford to retire?

  • ‘He thinks nothing of spending $40K on a new car’: My husband gives me the silent treatment. How can we agree on finances?

Leading up to the meeting, reports indicated differences in perspectives between Russia and Saudi Arabia, as noted by Reuters and Bloomberg News. Russia was advocating for a moderate output increase, whereas Saudi Arabia preferred a significantly larger boost, potentially increasing production up to four times. Ultimately, the Saudis opted for the more modest agreement of hiking by the same amount as October.

U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for November delivery CLX25 CL.1 saw a rise on Friday, yet concluded the week with a decline of 7.4%, marking its steepest fall since June amid forecasts of an impending global overabundance of crude oil in the upcoming year. The global benchmark, December Brent BRNZ25 BRN00, slightly dropped on Friday but recorded a 6.8% loss over the week.

Predictions from the International Energy Agency indicate that, by 2025 and 2026, global oil availability is expected to surpass worldwide demand.

The production increases by OPEC+ are employed as a strategy to penalize certain nations that have been exceeding their oil production quotas and to lower prices in order to reclaim market share from U.S. shale producers.

OPEC+ referenced a “steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals” while justifying their decision to once again elevate their production levels, as mentioned in Sunday’s statement.

Nonetheless, Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management, commented that the actions of OPEC+ seem “more like market theater than supply policy.” He pointed out that although there have been increases in monthly production targets, the actual output has not kept pace as OPEC+ remains cautious of oversaturating the market and depressing prices.

According to Innes, traders “still have to price the illusion,” causing prices to fluctuate amid the tug-of-war between perceived expectations and tangible evidence.

OPEC+ is scheduled to reconvene on November 2.
