# OPEC+ sticks to its 'all is fine in oil' mantra, but uncertainty rises | Reuters

> OPEC+ kept its policy of stability in oil markets, with the group still holding about 3.24 million bpd of production cuts after raising quotas by roughly 2.9 million bpd since April. Brent ended November 28 at about $63.20 a barrel. Market consensus is that OPEC+ will not need to add output in 2026 and may need to cut back to support prices.

## Why it matters

A stable OPEC+ output stance with little expected supply growth limits downside for crude. Lower crude costs feed through to diesel and freight, and to energy-linked feed and fertilizer costs.
