OPEC’s Surprise Output Hike Leaves Oil Prices Steady – But Glut Fears Loom

OPEC+ agreed on Oct. 5, 2025, to raise crude output by 137,000 barrels per day in November, matching October’s increase. Brent crude held near $65.5 per barrel after the announcement, while U.S. WTI hovered around $61.7.

  • US Natural Gas Prices Slide Amid Strong Storage and Production Outlook
    April 30, 2026, 2:10 AM EDT. US natural gas prices declined 1.64% as expectations of rising storage levels weighed on the market. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects a weekly inventory build of 83 billion cubic feet (bcf), above the five-year average of 63 bcf, pushing stockpiles to 7.1% above normal. Despite this, forecasts of cooler-than-normal temperatures across most of the US could increase heating demand and moderate losses. US production remains high, near record levels, supported by active rigs at 2.5-year highs and an upward revision for 2026 output. Export support comes from disruptions at Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG plant and the ongoing Strait of Hormuz closure, tightening global LNG supply and potentially boosting US exports.
