  • Last week, the group looked set to proceed with the planned 180,000 barrels per day hike in October.
  • Demand concerns, mainly from China and uncertainty over the Libyan supply situation have complicated OPEC+ efforts to unwind voluntary cuts that are costing key members global market share.

  • WTI OCT 24 up 0.2% at 70.46$/bbl
