Oil dragged lower as OPEC+ discord forces delay to key meeting – Daily Market Update – Equity 22 Nov 2023

Oil tumbled as discord within OPEC+ forced the group to delay its upcoming meeting, quelling speculation of further production cuts by the Saudi-led alliance just as US data pointed to another rise in stockpiles. Global benchmark Brent sank below $81 a barrel after a volatile session on Wednesday that saw prices swing by more than $4, while West Texas Intermediate was near $76. OPEC+ delayed the meeting to the end of the month as disputes arose over quotas for African members including Angola.
