On October 29 market coverage reiterated that parts of the OPEC+ alliance were considering incremental production increases in coming months, a narrative that kept a lid on prices despite otherwise supportive demand signals from trade optimism. Traders trimmed the forward risk premium as potential supply additions entered price models. While the prospective increases were not large enough to cause a supply glut on their own, the expectation shifted sentiment from a structural shortage narrative toward a more balanced forward curve, prompting short-term reallocation in energy buckets and related sovereign FX exposures.
