OPEC+ currently has a layer of production cuts in place, covering most of its 21 member countries, until the end of 2026. Before deciding how to gradually exit the production cuts and return production to the market, the organization needs to review member countries oil production capacity to set a production baseline for 2027 – which will serve as the basis for quotas. Sources previously indicated that this discussion might take place later in 2026, suggesting that OPEC+ might pause production increases in the fourth quarter.On September 6, local time, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Healths Emergency Operations Center issued a statement saying that an attack launched by the Israeli Defense Forces in southern Lebanon that morning had resulted in 4 deaths and 20 injuries.

On Monday, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers presented an amended version of a measure that intends to make it easier for news organizations to negotiate with platforms like Google and Facebook collectively (NASDAQ:META).


The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, according to a news release from the lawmakers, "removes legal hurdles to news organizations' ability to negotiate collectively and get fair terms from gatekeeper platforms that routinely access news material without paying for its value."


The group consists of Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar, Republican Senator John Kennedy, and Democratic Representative David Cicilline and Republican Representative Ken Buck, all of whom are members of the House Judiciary Committee.


The Computer & Communications Industry Association and NetChoice, to which Meta Platforms' Facebook and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGLGoogle) belong, opposed a March 2021 version of the proposed legislation.


The proposed measure would apply to news publishers with less than 1,500 full-time staff and independent broadcasters. According to the press release, they would be able to work together to negotiate better arrangements with Facebook, Google, and other massive platforms.


The Act of 2021 would have applied to any print, broadcast, or online news organization with a committed editorial team and at least a weekly publication schedule.
