Oil prices open lower as crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz continue and OPEC+ signals increased supplies, according to market coverage from multiple outlets. Traders weigh the supply outlook implied by OPEC+ against ongoing regional transport concerns tied to the Strait of Hormuz.

Separately, market attention also turns to the Korean won’s first day of 24-hour trading, with traders monitoring how the expanded trading window may affect liquidity and pricing in regional markets.
