OPEC Meeting
ReleasedRoughly monthly · scheduled and ad-hoc
FrequencyRoughly monthly
Definition
OPEC and its OPEC+ partners meet to set crude-oil production quotas. The bloc, led by Saudi Arabia, coordinates supply to influence global prices.
Why investors care
Quota changes raise or lower global crude supply, with immediate effects on oil prices, energy stocks and headline inflation.
What to watch
The market trades the gap between the announced quota and actual compliance — over-production by members can blunt a “cut”.
