OPEC's November report said OPEC+ members participating in the production agreement increased output by 1.94 million barrels per day in October. Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait recorded the largest increases among the named producers, while the report also noted that the alliance's October output remained below its quota excluding compensation adjustments.
Higher production adds crude supply and may weigh on oil prices, while output below quota limits the size of that bearish pressure.
