OPEC+ maintains November oil production targets

What happened

Seven core OPEC+ members, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, and Oman, agreed to maintain their current oil production quotas for November during an online meeting held on Sunday.

The Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee also convened on Sunday to conduct a market review.

Why it matters

The decision to keep production targets steady reflects expectations that further policy adjustments are unlikely until 2027, as the group's output capacity review has been delayed by the war on Iran.

Context

OPEC+ is an alliance of OPEC members and other oil-producing nations formed in 2016, with the United Arab Emirates departing the group in 2026.

The seven core members involved in the decision produced 25 million barrels of oil per day in August and are scheduled to meet again on November 1.
