Multiple informed sources reported on November 27 that OPEC+ ministers were inclined to keep production targets largely unchanged into the first quarter of 2026. The group is said to be focusing on establishing a capacity assessment mechanism for future baselines while avoiding immediate large hikes that could destabilise the market. Traders interpreted the likely status quo as a step that removes some short-term bullishness in crude prices, since planned increases had been one of the upside narratives. Energy desks noted the decision reduces immediate supply risk but leaves the market sensitive to operational outages and geopolitical developments.
