OPEC+ agreed to cut its October crude output by 100,000 barrels per day, reverting to August 2022 production levels. The decision follows a September increase and comes amid slowing global growth and possible returning Iranian supply.
The group will hold its next meeting on October 5 and may call a ministerial meeting at any time.
The cut supports crude prices, though the offsetting risk of a potential Iran nuclear deal limits the upside, which affects energy costs for feed producers.
