Oil prices gained around one percent as traders absorbed OPEC+’s latest decision to raise output only marginally. Brent crude climbed modestly above the mid-sixty-dollar range, while U.S. benchmarks followed suit.
Demand from Asia remains relatively firm, while Europe and North America show signs of cooling. Inventories have inched higher, but not enough to threaten pricing momentum.
Higher oil prices enhance cash flow visibility across the upstream sector. Integrated energy firms, in particular, stand to benefit as refining margins and production revenues align under steadier conditions.
