Oil prices are mixed in early Asian trade but may be weighed by signs of production recovery. Crude output from Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline is going through more swiftly than anticipated, analysts say.

Saudi Arabia's exports increased to 5.8 million barrels per day in September, the highest since February 2026, ANZ Research analysts say in a report. "The kingdom also resumed loading vessels at the Red Sea port of Yanbu via its East-West pipeline," the analysts add.

Front-month WTI crude oil futures are little changed at $89.34 a barrel, while front-month Brent crude oil futures are 0.4% higher at $103.02 a barrel. ([email protected])
