Oil Climbs After OPEC+ Meeting, ORCL Up Before Earnings
Rick Ducat, CMT
September 08, 2025
Stocks are slightly higher in early trading with S&P 500 futures (/ES) up about +0.25% after Friday’s soft jobs report sent markets lower into the weekend. Traders are looking toward this week’s PPI and CPI reports on Wednesday and Thursday for further clues about economic conditions.
Energy markets are on the move, with oil futures (/CL) up +2% after OPEC+ yesterday agreed to increase oil production in October as it moves to undo previous production cuts a year before they projected.
It’s a light start to the week in terms of earnings; Casey’s General Stores (CASY) reports in today’s postmarket, with Oracle (ORCL) tomorrow afternoon and Adobe (ADBE) after Thursday’s close.
