The oil market has changed little since the OPEC+ meeting in early September as demand continues to rise.
The increase in oil prices on the one hand benefits producers, on the other hand threatens to stifle economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In August, OPEC+ experts forecast that the growth of crude oil demand in 2022 will reach 4.2 million barrels per day, up from the previous forecast of 3.28 million barrels a day. This is said to cause OPEC+ to increase oil production in the future.
