Oil Prices Dip Amidst OPEC Plans and Supply Concerns
Oil prices went down because there might be too much oil coming soon.
OPEC is thinking about making more oil, and oil from Iraq started flowing again after a long time.
Investors are worried about this extra supply, along with possible problems like a government shutdown in the U.S. and a potential peace deal in Gaza.
These events are all making the price of oil unstable right now.
Oil prices decreased on Tuesday due to investor anticipation of a supply surplus.
OPEC is considering a production increase of 411,000 barrels per day.
Crude oil exports from northern Iraq to Turkey resumed.
Potential U.S. government shutdown raised demand concerns.
A Gaza peace deal could affect shipping and oil prices.
