OPEC+ holds December oil targets as production lags quotas
OPEC+ kept December production targets at September’s levels, The National reports, leaving the seven core producers’ combined quota at about 31 million barrels per day.

The next meeting is scheduled for November 29; unchanged targets do not mean unchanged physical supply.
