Commodity WTI Crude Approaches $78 as OPEC+ Sticks with Production Increase WTI crude futures surged more than 2% to near $78 a barrel on Monday, the highest since November 2014, as OPEC+ sticks with its planned 400,000 bpd increase in crude output quota for November, in line with a recommendation from the Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee, and despite pressure from some countries including the US and India to add more oil to stabilize prices. OPEC+ agreed in July to raise output by 400,000 bpd each month until at least April 2022. Oil prices are up 60% so far on the year. 5 minutes ago

Das bedeutet das auch in unserem Sektor zumindestens aktuell die Margen kleiner werden.
