OPEC+ producers have agreed in principle to keep December production targets unchanged, with the focus moving to setting 2027 quotas. The seven core members meet Sunday, and Gulf producers are raising exports disrupted by the Iran war but remain below their targets.
The pause in policy changes means no new barrels are added or removed in December, so crude prices are likely to stay near current levels. The 2027 quota talks are the next potential source of supply change.
