Oil prices little changed as markets look to OPEC+ meeting

Oil prices remained stable in early Asian trading as markets anticipated an upcoming OPEC+ meeting where maintaining voluntary output cuts for the rest of the year will be discussed. Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude prices saw slight increases, while trading was expected to be light due to public holidays. OPEC+ is likely to extend output cuts, affecting global oil demand and inflation.

Pindi to have two vegetable markets

In Rawalpindi, plans are underway to establish two vegetable and fruit markets in Gujjar Khan and Doulatala, aiming to reduce the city's reliance on Islamabad's markets. Rawalpindi Division Commissioner, Laiqat Ali Chatha, announced the initiative, noting that Rawalpindi has traditionally depended on Islamabad's markets, leading to increased prices for vegetables and fruits. With the establishment of not just one, but two markets, the city aims to address this dependency that has persisted for years.
