# Saudi Arabia Adds 1.18 Million Barrels a Day to Lead OPEC+ Crude Output Rise in October

> OPEC's November report shows Saudi Arabia raised crude output by 1.18 million barrels a day in October to 9.19 million, the largest monthly gain of any producer. Excluding the UAE, which has left the group, OPEC+ output rose 1.94 million barrels a day to 37.22 million. The report kept its forecast of about 2.6 million barrels a day of demand growth in 2027.

## Why it matters

Faster Gulf supply recovery adds barrels to a market where demand growth is still expected, which weighs on crude prices. Lower crude prices reduce input costs for biofuels and fertilizer, and they reduce the pull on feed-grain-linked energy costs.
