Oil declined at the start of the week as expectations that OPEC+ will hike production again in November exacerbated concerns about a glut.
Brent dipped below $70 a barrel on Monday after rising 5.2% last week, while West Texas Intermediate traded around $65. The alliance led by Saudi Arabia is considering increasing output by at least as much as the 137,000 barrel-a-day hike scheduled for next month, according to people familiar with the plans.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies are pursuing a strategy to reclaim market share rather than their typical role of managing prices, bringing back an additional layer of idled output. Still, oil prices have held up reasonably well, underpinned by robust buying from China.
However, the International Energy Agency is projecting a record glut in 2026 as OPEC+ continues to revive production and supply from the group's rivals climbs. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. sees Brent falling to the mid-$50s a barrel next year, despite crude stockpiling from China.
