OPEC+ Likely to Hold November Oil Quotas Steady After 2023 Cut Reversal

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Oct 4

Summary

  • Key OPEC+ members are expected to keep crude production quotas unchanged for November when the group meets by video on Sunday, according to two delegates.
  • Saudi Arabia and Russia are likely to push through the existing roadmap because the alliance has nominally finished unwinding the supply cuts it made in 2023.
  • The expected decision would leave current output targets intact for another month, signaling policy continuity rather than a fresh supply increase.
