Crude oil prices jumped on Sept. 8 after OPEC+ decided to boost output at a slower pace amid growing concerns that the Russia–Ukraine war will not end soon.

Brent crude oil futures were trading at $66.92 per barrel as of 8:20 a.m. EDT on Monday, up about 2.17 percent from Friday’s close. WTI crude oil futures, the main oil benchmark in North America, were trading at $63.24, up by more than 2 percent.
