Reuters survey found OPEC October crude output rose 690,000 bpd to 29.59 million bpd as Saudi production recovered quickly from September attacks. Compliance with the supply pact rose to 140% in October, and analysts said Saudi Arabia would cut further if needed to keep prices stable.
Higher OPEC output eases supply tightness and weighs on crude, though analysts' readiness to cut further limits downside for energy costs.
