OPEC oil rises 5.6% to $123.11, highest value since April

RTP Notícias15 September 2026 at 11:40

Oil from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) recorded a 5.6% rise on Monday, having been sold at $123.11 per barrel.

This value represents the highest price since April, according to information released today by the oil group based in Vienna.

OPEC is an international organization composed of oil-exporting countries that aims to coordinate and unify petroleum policies among its member states.

Why this matters

The rise in oil prices directly affects fuel and energy costs for consumers and businesses in the region, potentially influencing inflation and transportation costs. This increase reflects tensions in global energy markets that continue to impact consumer prices.
