OPEC Maintains Oil Output Policy for October Amid Iran Conflict Disruptions
OPEC has decided to keep its oil output policy unchanged for October, postponing further production increases for the fourth quarter. This pause follows a phased rollback of previous supply cuts amid ongoing disruptions caused by the Iran conflict, which limits OPEC's influence over oil prices and market share. The group plans to review members' production capacities in 2026 before adjusting quotas for 2027. Despite nominal quota increases, actual production remains below targets due to geopolitical tensions and capacity challenges.
