04 Oct 2022 Evaluate

Crude oil futures ended higher with rally over five percent on Monday on speculation the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, together known as OPEC+ will discuss cutting crude output at their upcoming meeting on Wednesday. According to private reports, the OPEC+ may consider cutting output by more than 1 million barrels a day for its biggest reduction since the pandemic, to support falling prices. Further, the dollar index fell for a fourth consecutive day on Monday after touching its highest level in two decades. A cheaper dollar could bolster oil demand and support prices.

Benchmark crude oil futures for November delivery rose $4.14 or 5.2 percent at $83.63 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for December delivery surged $3.72 or about 4.37 percent to settle at $88.86 a barrel on London's Intercontinental Exchange.
