Today's Stock Market News & Events: 10/6/2022

Yesterday marked a major move by OPEC that will have a worldwide impact. OPEC and its allies (including Russia) decided to curb daily oil productions by 2M barrels, marketing the single largest cut since 2020. OPEC did slash production during the COVID-19 lockdowns but is now confident to raise oil prices now that the lockdowns are over (and because higher prices = higher profits).

Today the usual initial and continuing weekly jobless claims data is all that is scheduled.
