Brent crude had slumped to around $60 per barrel last month, as the rapid unwinding of OPEC+ supply cuts amid trade uncertainties raised investor concerns.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Did OPEC+ Say?</h2>Eight members of the group, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the UAE, met virtually on Sunday and agreed to bring 137,000 barrels per day of production back online. This was part of the 1.65 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil that OPEC+ aims to produce after a voluntary production cut in April 2023 to regain market share.OPEC+ has been rapidly unwinding previous production cuts since April and has so far brought back over 2.5 million bpd worth of output. At their peak, production cuts totaled 5.85 million bpd, or nearly 6% of global supply.However, the group revealed it was pausing rapid hikes, as several analysts project that supply will outpace demand in 2026, affecting the bottom lines of energy firms. “Due to seasonality, the eight countries also decided to pause the production increments in January, February, and March 2026,” OPEC+ said in a statement.What Did Analysts Say?“The pause in raising output could even represent the start of a transition from the effort of OPEC+ to recapture market share toward a more supportive posture that holds back on supply in support of higher prices,” said analyst Tim Evans on the Evans On Energy newsletter.Russia remains a key supply wildcard, according to Helima Croft, RBC Capital's Head of Commodities Strategy, Reuters reported. Croft attributed this to sanctions recently imposed on major Russian producers Rosneft and Lukoil, alongside persistent Ukrainian attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure.However, analysts noted that other geopolitical conflicts could also cause a supply shock. “While Russia is the chief focus for a possible drop in supply, the market also needs to track the US military campaign against Venezuelan drug runners,” Evans said, noting that potentially 1 million bpd of production could be at risk.Retail Traders Bearish On Oil ETFsRetail sentiment on Stocktwits about the United States Oil Fund (USO) and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UCO">UCO ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil</a> was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:798/106;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/UCO_Nov_3_JPG_7f6cbebc0c.webp" alt="UCO’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:09 a.m. ET on Nov. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="798" height="106"><figcaption>UCO’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:09 a.m. ET on Nov. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>OPEC+ members will meet again on Nov. 30 to evaluate their next steps.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-drops-below-108-000-amid-concerns-over-fed-rates/cL2ZvHNR3yH">Bitcoin Drops Below $108,000: Fed Rate Jitters Prompt Traders To Gauge Risks Closely</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

This Energy ETF Is Heading Toward Its Worst Week In Four Months — Can A Late Rebound Save The Day?

The declines follow a more than 7% drop in both Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate crude prices this week, due to concerns about oversupply.

Oil prices gained marginally in volatile trading on Wednesday as investors assessed the commentary by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as well as U.S. President Donald Trump’s shift in stance around the Ukraine War.Benchmark Brent crude prices rose 0.4% to $67.88 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices also gained 0.3% cents to $63.64 per barrel at 5.10 a.m. ET. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.Both benchmarks climbed by more than $1 a barrel on Tuesday as a deal to resume exports from Iraq's Kurdistan stalled, halting pipeline shipments of approximately 230,000 barrels per day of oil from the region to Turkey, following requests from two key producers for debt repayment guarantees. Pipeline flows have been stopped since March 2023.Later in the day, President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine can reclaim all its territories, marking a reversal of his earlier stance, where he urged Kyiv to cede some of its territories to Russia. According to an AFP report, the Kremlin replied that there was “no alternative” for Russia than to continue its offensive on Ukraine that it launched in 2022.Trump has already urged Europe to scale back their purchases of Russian energy and floated higher tariffs on the buyers of Russian oil, including Russia and India.Separately, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted that the U.S. central bank could take a hawkish approach to interest rate cuts. “Near-term risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside — a challenging situation. Two-sided risks mean that there is no risk-free path,” Powell said in a speech on Tuesday.The U.S. dollar also advanced, capping some gains in oil prices. A stronger dollar makes the commodity more expensive for overseas buyers.Oil traders are also keenly awaiting the weekly U.S. crude inventory data. According to a Reuters report, citing market sources, American Petroleum Institute figures showed U.S. crude and gasoline stocks fell, while distillate stocks rose last week.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/rheinmetall-stock-ignites-retail-buzz-after-trump-s-about-face-on-ukraine-policy/chDKUatR3dC">Rheinmetall Stock Ignites Retail Buzz After Trump’s About-Face On Ukraine Policy</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Oil Prices Gain In Choppy Trading As Traders Assess Comments From Powell, Trump

Benchmark Brent crude prices rose 0.4% to $67.88 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices also gained 0.3% cents to $63.64 per barrel at 5.10 a.m. ET.

Oil prices fell on Thursday as investors dissected U.S. crude inventory data after an expected rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve.Benchmark Brent crude prices fell 0.5% to $67.56 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices also declined 40 cents to $63.64 per barrel at 3.42 a.m. ET. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> (USO) was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.The U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a widely anticipated 25-basis-point rate cut on Wednesday, following recent labor market weakness. However, markets remain divided on how many future rate cuts the Fed might announce this year.In his press conference, Powell emphasized the central bank’s tough ask of balancing its goal in an unusual situation, although he expressed concerns about the weakening labor market. Earlier in his speech, he called the September cut a “risk-management” cut, with the market interpreting the phrase as meaning “meeting-by-meeting” decision on future cuts."What caught markets’ attention was not just the easing, but Powell’s downbeat message," Phillip Nova analyst Priyanka Sachdeva said, according to a Reuters report, after saying that markets have already priced in two more rate cuts this year."He stressed weakening job markets and inflation that remains sticky, making the cut look more like risk-management than a demand booster," she noted.Investors were also concerned about oil demand in the world’s largest economy. U.S. crude oil inventories decreased last week, primarily due to a decline in imports and a sharp increase in exports, according to the Energy Information Administration's data.However, distillate stockpiles jumped by 4 million barrels, compared with market expectations of a 1.2 million barrel gain, according to ING commodities data.“This was the highest level seen since late January as exports continue to edge lower. This should help to ease some pressure on a tight diesel market, heading into the peak demand season for agricultural harvests and winter heating,” ING analysts said.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-shrugs-at-fed-rate-cut-as-xrp-dogecoin-et-fs-set-for-landmark-us-debut/chDc811R3Gk">Bitcoin Shrugs At Fed Rate Cut As XRP, Dogecoin ETFs Set for Landmark US Debut</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
