Crude oil dips below $60 as OPEC+ raises output
While stocks cheered Adani, commodities had a quieter Monday. Crude oil prices slipped below $60 per barrel, after OPEC+ decided to increase output by 4,11,000 barrels per day from June.
Here’s a quick look at where prices landed:
- Brent crude (July futures): $59.07, down 3.62%
- WTI crude (June futures): $55.98, down 3.96%
- MCX Crude (May futures): ₹4,734, down 4.17%
This output hike signals a supply surplus and has overshadowed geopolitical concerns like Houthi missile activity in West Asia. The energy market now awaits OPEC+’s next move during their June 1 meeting.
Meanwhile, natural gas futures on MCX were up 1.40%, trading at ₹310.90.
Conclusion:
If you were scanning today’s share market news, you probably noticed the tug-of-war between sectoral strength and individual stock drama. On one hand, Adani stocks and smallcaps pushed benchmarks up.
Crude oil softness may support OMCs in the coming days, while Dabur’s upcoming results could trigger FMCG movements.
