Oil gains amid U.S. dollar weakness and potential OPEC+ action
Oil rallied as the dollar wobbled and markets considered the possibility of OPEC+ cutting production in order to stabilize the volatile futures market.  West Texas Intermediate rose 3.7 per cent  to settle above US$93 a barrel on Tuesday after getting an extra boost as the dollar weakened, making commodities priced in the currency more attractive. Brent settled above US$100 for the first time since the beginning of August. Traders are weighing the potential of OPEC+ decreasing its crude output after Saudi Oil Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Bloomberg futures prices are increasingly disconnected from fundamentals.
