OPEC+ sees favorable shift in market ahead of November 4 meeting

Dhwani Mehta FXStreet

“OPEC+ now sees some more room for its crude in the market,” Energy Intelligence reports, citing an initial draft of a report prepared ahead of the alliance's November 4 meeting.

At its last meeting, OPEC+ decided to maintain the planned 400K barrel per day (bpd) increase in oil output.

Meanwhile, it was reported earlier on that Algeria wants to stick to the 400K output bump, as the country’s Energy Minister said that OPEC+ output increase should not exceed 400K bpd in December.

Market reaction

In light of the OPEC+ oil out speculation, WTI is trading modestly flat around $82.80, consolidating the impressive recovery from two-week lows.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
