    On the evening of October 5, Beijing time, OPEC+ announced that it would start cutting production by 2 million barrels per day
    in November.
    The possible rise in oil prices from a contraction in the crude oil market has added pressure to Europe and the United States
    , which are trying to control inflation.
    Matthew Smith, co-head of crude oil analysis at Kpler, expects tight supply and demand to drive oil prices higher, exceeding $100/b
    in 2023.
    After a resurgence in energy prices and a sharp reduction in OPEC, the White House expressed displeasure
    on Oct.
    5.

    President Joe Biden was disappointed by OPEC+'s short-sightedness in deciding to cut production at the moment and proposed new arrangements
    for the launch of the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve), the statement said.
    However, the long-term impact of OPEC on oil prices is still in doubt
    .
    Paul Sankey, chief analyst at Sankey Research, said OPEC member countries are currently producing at the quota and the group's announcement of a quota cut will not have much impact on
    oil prices.
