At today's meeting, OPEC+ is expected to stick to the established plan to increase production.

OPEC+ will meet today for the first time since July, and delegates expect the organization to stick to its plan to increase production. Given that crude oil prices have largely recovered their losses in mid-August and the relatively tight supply outlook for the rest of the year, there is little reason for the group to change its plan to gradually increase supply every month. Delegates, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expected ministers to approve an increase of 400000 barrels a day in October when they held an online meeting on Wednesday. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries (OPEC) and its allies, including Russia, are reversing the sharp cuts in production last year at the height of the Covid-19 crisis. About 4

ECB Chief Economist: Once the impact of the Fed's reduction in size becomes apparent, the central bank will have countermeasures

The ECB's chief economist Philip Lane said that the ECB is ready to deal with any market interference that may be caused by the Federal Reserve starting to reduce QE. “The ECB is not a passive bystander,” Lane said in an interview. “If spillover effects affect the financing situation in the Eurozone, we are willing and able to take appropriate action, as we have proven”. Lane emphasized that policymakers are determined to maintain a favorable financing environment in the Eurozone, which suggests that once the anti-epidemic emergency debt purchase program expires, it will take some time to decide how to buy bonds. “We don't need to be too early
