The price of oil jumped in New York on Monday to its highest level since 2014 after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies, a grouping known as OPEC+, agreed to stick to its existing plan to add 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil to the global market in November.
Monday’s decision comes amid a worsening global energy crunch and calls on the oil cartel to further loosen the taps to cool red-hot prices. More oil flooding the market means cooler prices while less oil coupled with growing demand can cause prices to spike.
Global benchmark Brent hit $82 a barrel, its highest since 2018, before settling up 2.51 percent at $81.27.
