Crude oil prices climbed on Monday, driven by a cautious production increase from OPEC+ and expectations of renewed sanctions on Russian crude.

Brent crude rose to $66.80 per barrel, marking a 1.98% increase from the previous session, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) climbed to $63.16 per barrel, up 2.09%.

The modest production increase announced by OPEC+—137,000 barrels per day for October—was lower than previous output hikes, signalling a careful approach to maintaining market stability. At the same time, analysts cited growing concerns over potential sanctions on Russian crude, which could tighten global supply.

Market observers are closely monitoring these developments, noting that any further geopolitical tensions or adjustments in production could have significant implications for global oil supply and demand.
