OPEC Expected to Maintain Oil Output Policy for October Amid Ongoing Disruptions
OPEC is expected to maintain its oil output policy unchanged for October, with a likely pause on production increases in the fourth quarter. The group, including allies like Russia, continues to produce below targets due to disruptions from the Iran war affecting exports through the Strait of Hormuz. Before adjusting production cuts set until 2026, OPEC plans to review members' oil capacity to establish 2027 quotas, with decisions on unwinding cuts anticipated later in 2026.
