NextGen Day

Early on Tuesday, oil prices were mixed after the OPEC+ group of oil producers decided to reduce output for October slightly. There were also concerns about sluggish demand in China, the world’s second-largest oil consumer, because to its ongoing stringent influenza restrictions.

At 09:51 a.m. local time (06:51 GMT), the price of international benchmark Brent crude was $95.47 per barrel, down 0.28 percent from the previous trading session’s closing price of $95.74 per barrel.

American benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI), which closed the previous session at $86.87 per barrel, was trading at $89.11 per barrel at the same time, up 2.58 percent.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its partners, sometimes known as OPEC+, decided to reduce output in October by 100,000 barrels per day on Monday.

The organization pointed out the necessity to support effective market functioning for stability and blamed the present oil market’s negative effects on volatility and the loss in liquidity.

The choice was made in response to supply concerns when European Union (EU) nations increased their sanctions against Russian oil exports, and the latter responded by reducing natural gas flow on the Nord Stream gas pipeline that transports Russian gas to Europe.

In the meantime, as a result of Russia cutting off gas supplies for an unforeseen period of time, EU nations are grappling with growing energy prices and a lack of energy sources.

However, China just unveiled new pandemic mitigation methods.

In reaction to recent coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreaks, the government extended lockdowns in Chengdu, a city in western China.

Shenzhen, the world’s southernmost technological hub, announced that tier-based anti-virus limitation measures would be implemented as of Monday.

Shenzhen, which was placed under lockdown on Saturday, has announced a new round of Covid-19 testing, and management has stated that additional lockdowns may be considered if the situation worsens.
