Energy analysts had mostly expected the group to stick with its production policy (read: Oil ETFs Up on Surprise OPEC+ Output Cut).
The global crypto market capitalization soared by 1.65% to $1.04 trillion, and the total crypto market volume increased by 7.7% to $93.3 billion in the last 24 hours (as of Sep 10, 2021), according to Coinmarketcap.com. Talks of rate cuts in 2023 and scheduled upgrade of ether (ETH), the native token of Ethereum's blockchain boosted the crypto space last week.
