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.

According to a Reuters News report, Russia's oil pipeline Transneft had warned producers that they might have to cut output as several refineries went online.ING Commodities analysts noted that recent claims by Ukraine that it attacked the Saratov refinery in its latest strike on Russian energy facilities might help create a floor for oil prices at lower levels.&nbsp;However, oil prices were under pressure as concerns over U.S. demand mounted after mixed fuel inventory data. According to American Petroleum Institute data, U.S. gasoline inventories fell by 700,000 barrels, while distillate stocks increased by 1.9 million barrels.Oil traders are eagerly awaiting the Federal Reserve’s decision on benchmark interest rates, expected to be announced later on Wednesday. The U.S. central bank is widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point rate cut amid weakness in the labor market.“The focus is on whether there will be two or three rate cuts this year,” IG Commodities analyst Tony Sycamore said in a note, including the probable cut on Wednesday. “Fed Chair Jerome Powell's tone on economic risks is crucial. Any 'buy the rumour, sell the news' effect may be short-lived, as further cuts in October and December remain possible.”Separately, the U.S. and India have begun their trade talks, with President Donald Trump speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the phone.

The EU currently expects to phase out Russian oil and gas by Jan. 1, 2028, to avoid a supply shock to its economy.Oil markets have found support in recent weeks as Ukraine has continued to hit Russian energy facilities, raising concerns over crude supply.

While Ukraine claimed the attack was largely successful, the Russians did not disclose whether it had caused any damage to the facility.The Ukrainian assault followed a strike at Russia’s largest oil exporting terminal, Primorsk, which ships over 1.1 million bpd of crude. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly said that the attack had caused ‘significant damage.’This comes at a time when the U.S. is mulling a fresh round of sanctions on the buyers of Russian oil. On Sunday, Trump once again said he is willing to take stricter measures, only if European allies agree to match them and stop their purchases of Russian energy.“As restrictions on the Russians have had a limited impact, tariffs on the buyers of the oil are a possibility, but as long as the barrels keep flowing, the balance in the wider market won’t be affected,” analyst Tim Evans said.Investors will also be watching the outcome of this week’s meeting of the Federal Reserve policymakers, with the U.S. central bank widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point cut to benchmark interest rates.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/ethereum-xrp-slip-bitcoin-advances-as-institutions-shore-up-reserves-ahead-of-anticipated-fed-rate-cut/chwwcteRdx8">Ethereum, XRP Slip; Bitcoin Advances As Institutions Shore Up Reserves Ahead Of Anticipated Fed Rate Cut</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The producer group, led by Saudi Arabia, said on Sunday that it will raise October output by 137,000 barrels per day. OPEC+ has already brought back 2.2 million barrels per day of production as Riyadh seeks to regain market share."The (U.S.) inflation battle doesn't quite look won, which dampens the demand outlook for oil from the world's largest economy," said Priyanka Sachdeva, senior market analyst at brokerage Phillip Nova, according to a Reuters report.However, oil prices could get a lift as Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, once again. According to a Bloomberg News report, Ukrainian drones attacked Primorsk, Russia’s primary oil-loading terminal on the Baltic coast. Last month, the port terminal reportedly loaded about 330,000 bpd of diesel-type fuel.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/boeing-ceo-says-mountain-of-work-remains-on-certifying-777x-planes/chw8jgoRdwp">Boeing CEO Says ‘Mountain Of Work’ Remains On Certifying 777x Planes — Retail Sees Buying Opportunity After Stock Slide</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The U.S. central bank will likely factor it in ahead of the monetary policymaker’s meeting next week, where the Fed is widely expected to deliver a 25-basis-point cut.“Unless we see a major inflation undershoot today, speculation on a 50 bp move next week should remain contained,” ING Commodities analysts said in a note.Oil markets have also come under pressure this week due to another output hike by OPEC+ which has already brought back 2.2 million barrels per day of production, this year.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/citi-ceo-jane-fraser-sees-us-dealmaking-rebound-amid-fading-recession-signs/chwNOz1RdHu">Citi CEO Jane Fraser Sees US Dealmaking Rebound Amid Fading Recession Signs, But Says ‘Not Everything Is Rosy’</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

"No sanctions will be able to force the Russian Federation to change the consistent position that our president has repeatedly spoken about," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to a Reuters News report.The rising geopolitical tensions appear to have eased concerns about a fresh output hike by OPEC+. The oil-producing group, led by Saudi Arabia, agreed to raise output by 137,000 barrels per day on Sunday, much lower than the over 550,000 bpd of production hike in August and September. Riyadh aims to regain market share lost during the pandemic, while also providing opportunities for overproducing members to compensate.“Sanctions on Russian crude oil supplies still represent a potential offsetting geopolitical risk,” analyst Tim Evans noted.Investor focus will now shift to the oil demand outlook from the Department of Energy and OPEC+. Traders will also keep an eye on U.S. consumer price index data, which is due on Thursday. The crucial inflation data will point toward the Federal Reserve’s possible decision on benchmark interest rates, expected next week.

Riyadh aims to regain market share lost during the pandemic, while also providing opportunities for overproducing members to compensate. The oil-producing group has already brought back about 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) in curtailed production this year."The oil market rebounded slightly, supported by relief over OPEC+'s modest output hike and a technical bounce following last week's decline," said Toshitaka Tazawa, an analyst at Fujitomi Securities, according to a Reuters News report.He added that the potential U.S. sanctions on Russia might also be lending support to oil prices amid concerns about oversupply. Several firms, including Goldman Sachs, have projected Brent oil prices to drop into the $50s by the end of the fourth quarter.Separately, the war in Ukraine intensified over the weekend, as Russia launched the biggest air attack of the war and set the main government building on fire, according to a Reuters <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-prices-climb-opec-agrees-raise-output-slower-pace-october-2025-09-07/">report</a>, citing Ukrainian officials.Several European leaders are expected to visit Washington, D.C., over the next few days to bolster peace efforts in the war-torn country.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-warns-hyundai-follow-us-immigration-laws-after-300-south-korean-workers-detained/chwW0I2RdqM">Trump Warns Hyundai: Follow US Immigration Laws After 300 South Korean Workers Detained</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Oil Prices Rise After Modest October Production Hike From OPEC+ 

Benchmark Brent crude prices rose 1.1% to $66.20 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices gained 1.1% to $62.56 per barrel at 1.39 a.m. GMT.

Oil prices slipped again on Friday and were headed for a weekly loss as investors remained concerned about additional supply amid demand worries.Benchmark Brent crude prices fell 0.5% to $66.68 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate prices fell 0.5% to $63.15 per barrel at 4.18 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 ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter, that OPEC+ will discuss a further rise in October production in a meeting scheduled for Sept. 7. However, the report also stated the producer group could keep its production flat as well.OPEC+, led by the world’s top oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, has already brought back 2.2 million barrels per day of curtailed production capacity since April, alongside another 300,000 bpd of output rise in the UAE.The production growth is expected to outstrip the rise in demand. According to the International Energy Agency’s August estimates, global crude demand will only rise by 700,000 bpd, compared with a 1.9 million bpd jump in supplies.“So far, OPEC has managed to raise output without undermining prices while also squeezing high-cost producers, most notably in the U.S., where production is nearing a peak. That removes the single largest source of non-OPEC supply growth of the past decade,” noted Ole Hansen, head commodity strategist at Saxo Bank.Separately, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that U.S. crude stockpiles rose by 2.4 million barrels per day, which was higher than the estimated increase, according to a Reuters report.However, geopolitical tensions have continued to support oil prices. Earlier this week, Trump warned that he could impose further sanctions on India, the world’s third-largest oil consumer, for its purchases of Russian crude and asked European leaders to stop buying oil from Russia.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/airbus-faces-uphill-battle-to-hit-2025-target-as-deliveries-through-august-trail-last-year/chwIELuRdpj">Airbus Faces Uphill Battle To Hit 2025 Target As Deliveries Through August Trail Last Year</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
