This comes as the market digests reports of Iran\u2019s alleged plans for a retaliatory strike on Israel from Iraq, as cited by Israeli intelligence sources. This increase underscores a shift in market sentiment as traders respond to regional instability, reinforcing crude prices after recent declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-1-1024x473.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15593\" style=\"width:1450px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>See: The 30-minute WTI chart shows a 2.21% upward trend, closing at 70.603 with bullish momentum from recent moving average and MACD crossovers on the <a href=\"https:\/\/vtmarketsapp.onelink.me\/CD7D\/240525WA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">VT Markets app<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>OPEC+ Mulls Delay as Oil Prices Falter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite gains, oil prices still show a weekly drop, pressured by Monday\u2019s 6% fall following an Israeli military operation that targeted Iran&#8217;s assets, yet avoided oil and nuclear facilities. With this backdrop, OPEC+ may choose to delay its planned December production increase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OPEC+ oil producers are due to start adding as much as 2.5 million barrels a day to supply from December.
