Both contracts fell by more than 1% in the previous session to settle at their lowest in a week.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, together known as OPEC+, pumps about half of the world's oil and had been curtailing production for several years to support the market, but the group introduced a series of accelerated output hikes this year to regain market share.
In its latest decision, OPEC+ agreed on Sunday to raise oil production by 547,000 barrels per day for September.

It marks a full and early reversal of the group's largest tranche of output cuts, amounting to about 2.5 million bpd, or about 2.4% of global demand, though analysts caution the actual amount returning to the market will be less.
At the same time, U.S. demands for India to stop buying Russian oil as Washington seeks ways to push Moscow for a peace deal with Ukraine is increasing concerns of a disruption to supply flows.
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to impose 100% secondary tariffs on Russian crude buyers. This follows a 25% tariff on Indian imports announced in July.
India is the biggest buyer of seaborne crude from Russia, importing about 1.75 million bpd of Russian oil from January to June this year, up 1% from a year ago, according to data provided to Reuters by trade sources.
"India has become a major buyer of the Kremlin's oil since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Any disruption to those purchases would force Russia to find alternative buyers from an increasingly small group of allies," ANZ senior commodity strategist Daniel Hynes wrote in a note.
Traders are also awaiting any developments on the latest U.S. tariffs on its trading partners, which analysts fear could slow down economic growth and dampen fuel demand growth.

OpenAI responds to DeepSeek with two 'open' models
OpenAI is releasing a pair of open and freely available artificial intelligence models that can mimic the human process of reasoning, months after China's DeepSeek gained global attention with its own open AI software. The two models, called GPT-oss-120b and GPT-oss-20b , will be available on AI software hosting platform Hugging Face and can produce text - but not images or videos-in response to user prompts, OpenAI said on Tuesday. These models can also carry out complex tasks like writing code and looking up information online on a user's behalf, the company said.

's Llama. The term "weight" refers to the parameters in an AI model. OpenAI is disclosing the many numerical values the models picked up and were tweaked with during the training process, allowing developers to better customise them. However, OpenAI is not revealing the data used to train them, falling short of the definition for a truly open source AI model. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Despite its name, most of OpenAI's models are closed systems -the kind of software that's controlled by the developer, can't be modified by users, and includes less transparency about its technical underpinnings. Like many of its US rivals, OpenAI has guarded its training data and focused on charging more for its most powerful models to offset the immense cost of development.

The National Asset Reconstruction Co ( NARCL ) has submitted binding offers for two distressed assets, including Jaypee Cement Corp. The other asset is a toll road entity of Anil Ambani 's Reliance Infra . For the Salem-Ulundurpet toll road, NARCL has offered ₹280 crore against total debt of about ₹600 crore. The bid for Jaypee Cement stands at ₹270 crore against outstanding debt of ₹2,200 crore. Dalmia Bharat had earlier shown interest in acquiring Jaypee's cement assets.

These bids are in a 15:85 structure where 15% is paid in cash and remaining in security receipts. NARCL acquires 15% of the value of accounts upfront in cash, while the remaining is issued to the selling banks as Security Receipts (SRs) for which the government has provided a sovereign guarantee. Live Events The toll project, which is a 136-km highway connecting NH-68 to key Tamil Nadu corridors was scheduled to be operational by January 2011 but achieved full commissioning only by August 2013. However, it got delayed leading to financial pressures. JCCL, a wholly owned unit of Jaiprakash Associates, operates a 1.2 MTPA cement grinding unit and a 60 MW captive power plant in Shahabad, Karnataka, while another 1.2 MTPA capacity remains suspended. In December 2022, Dalmia Cement (Bharat) signed a ₹5,666 crore binding agreement to acquire key cement, clinker, and power assets from Jaypee Group across three states. However, the deal has been delayed due to pending regulatory approvals and legal hurdles. In March a 25-bank consortium led by SBI transferred ₹12,700 crore of JAL's stressed loans to NARCL. JAL is under CIRP process for in-court resolution and five bidders including Adani and Dalmia have shown interest in acquiring the asset. As of March 31, 2025, NARCL had managed ₹1.6 lakh crore in debt with ₹29,000 crore of assets under management.

EU faces 15% tariff on exports to US: Key details revealed
Brussels: The 15% tariff that European Union goods face when entering the United States is all-inclusive, unlike the deals some other countries have struck with Washington, a senior EU official said on Tuesday. The tariff framework will apply broadly to EU exports, except for steel and aluminium, the official said. The 15% rate will also apply to cars and car parts, with no quotas or limits, he added.

Tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are currently zero, but if they rise as a result of a US probe into imports of those products, they will not exceed the 15% ceiling. Talks on a joint statement with the US that will spell out more details are very advanced, with the text broadly ready, with the EU waiting for a response from Washington to finalise things, the official said. He declined to give a timeline for its release. Live Events
