This decision was reached during a virtual meeting held on Sunday to assess the most recent developments and future prospects in the oil market.\n\nIn September, the group had previously agreed to raise production by 188,000 barrels per day (bpd).

The agreement extends the group's monthly meetings to keep a close watch on market trends. Their subsequent gathering is set for October 4.\n\nIn August, the OPEC+ nations approved an increase in production for September, thus concluding a gradual reduction in a 1.65 million-barrel-per-day supply cut that was initially decided in 2023. Despite the agreed production increases, the group still falls short of its targets due to the ongoing Iran-US conflict.",
