OPEC+ is expected to meet on Thursday, discussing its plan on crude production. The group is gradually easing record output cuts made last year.
It is "doubtful" whether OPEC+ will step up its oil production to a greater extent, Carsten Fritsch, energy analyst at Commerzbank Research, said Monday in a note.
"Comments made by the two leading countries in the alliance, Saudi Arabia and Russia, indicate that production in December will be increased as planned by 400,000 barrels per day. Another two heavyweights -- Iraq and Kuwait -- recently expressed the same view," he said.
For the week ending Oct. 29, the U.S. crude benchmark lost 0.2 percent, while Brent dipped 1.3 percent.
