OPEC+ decision and Nonfarm Payrolls in focus for next week.

The week ahead kicks off with pivotal decisions from OPEC+ regarding September output levels, adding immediate tension to WTI Crude Oil futures. With the group potentially unwinding voluntary production cuts by another 188 thousand barrels per day, the energy market is closely monitoring the outcome. Geopolitical complexities further complicate the supply picture, particularly following the breakdown of the preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement and potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Traders will evaluate how these supply-side factors, combined with a heavy week of earnings and critical U.S. labor data, drive market action next week.
