# Crude oil prices jump in reaction to OPEC deal By Seeking Alpha

> Crude prices jumped after OPEC reached a deal to raise production moderately, with WTI up about 3.3% at $67.69 and Brent up 2.7% at $75.07. The headline increase is 1 million bpd, but only about 600,000 bpd is expected to reach the market due to supply constraints in some countries.

## Why it matters

The effective increase is roughly in line with expectations and does not change the bullish balance, especially with OECD inventories below their five-year average. Crude strength passes through to fuel and freight costs for feed.
