Oil prices fall on report of faster OPEC output hikes

  • Oil down more than $1

Earlier reports that OPEC+ will discuss potentially lifting output by 500K bpd over a three-month period are weighing on oil prices.

The market has been expecting a 167K bpd increase for the next 11 months but this would accelerate it over a much shorter period and is certainly bearish for oil.

I'm suspicious that this wasn't leaked yesterday as crude prices fell nearly 4%. Oil fell an additional 80-cents on these headlines but has rebounded somewhat.

Zooming out, the bottom of the crude oil range is providing some support to WTI. The September low was $61.64.
