OPEC+ to Pause Output Hikes After Small December Increase
Update: 2025-11-02
Description
OPEC Plus faces a delicate balance as oil markets grapple with oversupply concerns. Despite a small production increase for December, the alliance maintains a production freeze for the next three months. The decision comes amidst growing signs of excess oil worldwide, potentially leading to a significant oversupply in the coming year. The announcement follows recent U.S. sanctions on Russia's oil companies and political tensions, with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman set to visit Washington. OPEC Plus's past promises to boost supply have fallen short, with some countries still making up for past overproduction and others unable to increase output. Meanwhile, demand is cooling in China, and supply in North and South America continues to rise, leading to a potential oversupply and price drop below $60 a barrel. OPEC Plus will reconvene later this month to navigate the unpredictable market.
