I’m Vanessa Clark, and today is Monday, November third, twenty twenty-five. Whether you’re a seasoned energy investor, a market watcher, or just curious about global trends, I’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about crude oil prices and what’s driving them right now.Let’s dive straight into today’s numbers. West Texas Intermediate, the main US crude oil benchmark, ended the session at sixty-one dollars and eleven cents per barrel. That’s a slight increase of just over point two percent from yesterday. If you’re tracking Brent crude, the global benchmark, it’s holding at sixty-four dollars and seventy-seven cents per barrel, virtually unchanged from last week. On India’s Multi Commodity Exchange, crude is trading at fifty-five hundred and fifty-four rupees per barrel, up marginally as well.So what’s behind these recent moves? OPEC Plus, the alliance of major oil producers, just made a key announcement over the weekend. They’ve agreed to a modest production increase of about one hundred thirty-seven thousand barrels per day for December — but here’s the real headline: they’ll pause any further hikes through the first quarter of next year. This seasonal freeze aims to prevent oversupply as global demand typically slows down at the start of the year. Traders and analysts are watching this closely because it signals OPEC Plus is getting cautious. They want to keep prices stable and avoid a glut that could push values lower.There’s more news shaping the market. Persistent tension over Russian oil supply is another big factor. US sanctions just hit major Russian producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, hard, and over the weekend, a Ukrainian drone strike set fire to a tanker terminal at Tuapse, a key Russian Black Sea port. These geopolitical risks keep oil traders on edge, with worries about potential disruptions adding upward pressure to prices.This all matters to anyone who touches the energy market, from refineries and consumers to investors and industries. Crude oil prices are down nearly fifteen percent compared to last year, reflecting how supply has grown faster than demand amid surging production in the US, Saudi Arabia, and the North Sea. High inventory levels — including a record one point four billion barrels sitting in tankers at sea this week — mean traders still expect competition for market share.What does this mean for you? If you’re budgeting for travel, running a business, or watching how fuel costs will impact your bottom line, remember that global events can shift prices fast. When OPEC Plus tightens supply or new sanctions hit, expect ripple effects for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. For investors and oil watchers, now’s a good time to keep tabs on news out of Russia and any surprise decisions from producer nations.That’s all for today’s update on crude oil prices.
