OPEC+ is reportedly discussing a delay to its planned October oil output increase, according to sources. The move follows falling oil prices driven by concerns about a weak global economy and soft data from China, the world's largest oil importer.
A delayed OPEC+ supply increase would tighten the market somewhat, partly offsetting weak demand and giving crude some support.
