Crude Snaps 3-Day Slide as OPEC+ Signals Cautious Supply Boost

Market Movement
Brent crude rose 34 cents (0.5%) to $65.84 per barrel, while WTI gained 30 cents (0.5%), reaching $62.17 per barrel.
Why Prices Stabilized
Cautious Supply Easing: OPEC+ agreed to a moderate increase of 137,000 barrels per day in October, a substantially smaller hike compared to recent months. This gradual approach helped temper market concern over oversupply.
Geopolitical Tensions: Ongoing conflicts, especially a large-scale Russian airstrike on Ukraine, have elevated geopolitical risks, underpinning crude prices amid supply uncertainty.
Sanction Threats: New U.S. sanctions targeting Russian crude shipments are adding upward pressure on the price outlook.
