OPEC+ Production Increase Raises Oversupply Risk | Presented by CME Group

Oil Production & Supply - OPEC Plus increased oil production by 547,000 barrels per day in September [1] - Total phased-in increase since April is approximately 192% million barrels per day, close to the original target of 220% million barrels [1] - Increased supply puts downward pressure on crude prices [1] Market Dynamics & Demand - Lackluster US fuel demand contributes to downward pressure on crude prices [1] - Weak US jobs report intensifies expectations of weaker consumer and industrial demand for energy [1] - Tariff uncertainty hampers investment and potentially delays projects, especially in green energy storage and renewables [2] Potential Risks & Opportunities - Potential crude oil oversupply and more price weakness are possible [2] - Price weakness may offset some energy supply chain pressures caused by tariffs [2]
