OPEC+ agreed in principle, per three sources cited by Reuters, to keep December oil output targets steady at a Sunday online meeting. Gulf members are boosting exports disrupted by the Iran war but most remain below targets.
The group still has about 2 million bpd of cuts through end-2026.
Because Gulf producers are below quota, unchanged targets do not add supply, so the decision is largely neutral for prices. The 2027 baseline negotiations remain the key upcoming supply risk.
