OPEC
As of early September 2026, OPEC maintained its cautious output stance, holding production steady following the August 2026 meeting. The group is prioritizing market stability amid persistent demand uncertainties from China’s slowing growth and risks of demand softening in Europe. Supply discipline aims to support oil prices near $90/bbl. However, the main constraint is potential U.S. shale supply resurgence as costs remain low, which could undermine OPEC’s influence on global oil balances.

Key risks remain geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and uncertainties around global energy transition policies, which could either tighten or loosen market balances further ahead.
