Oil Gains on Easing Supply Fears after OPEC+ Decision

Oil Gains on Easing Supply Fears after OPEC+ DecisionSingapore, 8 Oct (ONA) — Oil prices rose nearly 1% today as investors shrugged off concerns about oversupply after digesting a decision earlier by OPEC+ to limit production increases next month. Brent crude futures gained 63 cents, or 0.96%, to $66.08 per barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 66 cents, or 1.07%, to $62.39. The benchmarks had settled broadly flat in the previous session as traders weighed signs of a potential supply glut against the smaller-than-expected output increase announced by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies.— Ends/Khalid
