Hi, I'm Becky Quick, co-host of Squawk Box, and this is five things you need to know before today's opening bell.

We're watching oil prices, which are higher. OPEC plus announcing a monthly production hike of another 137,000 barrels a day in November.

You would normally think more supply would lead to lower prices,

but that increase amounts to less the many expected. And as a result, WTI is up by about 1.8%.

Bitcoin pulling back from a weekend high, it hit nearly $126,000 early yesterday. It's currently

trading just above $124,000, but we will continue to watch it.

And Tesla shares are higher by about 2%. The company posting a teaser video on X yesterday,

sparking speculation that it could be gearing up to release a new car. Perhaps the next generation

roadster that Elon Musk has been promising.

That video ends with the numbers 10-7, indicating tomorrow's date.

Italy's foreign ministry says that the country is working with the European Commission to pressure the United States to reconsider an additional anti-dumping tariff on pasta imports.

That levy, if implemented, would effectively double

pasta import prices. And famed podcaster Alex Cooper launching an advertising company called the

Unwell Creative Agency. A new Wall Street Journal story says that she has reached a multi-year

ad deal with Google. Cooper gained fame with her interview podcast, Call her Daddy.

She has a $100 million deal with Sirius and a line of hydration drinks.

We'll be back later today with Squawk Pod, our daily podcast featuring the best of SquackBox.
