OPEC+ Increases Oil Production Quotas
Oil supply rises as geopolitical tensions in the Gulf ease.
Event Overview
OPEC+ has agreed to increase oil production by 188,000 barrels per day starting in August. This decision follows a recovery of exports through the Strait of Hormuz and an interim deal between the U.S. and Iran to end fighting and lift port blockades. Consequently, oil prices have dropped to approximately $72 per barrel, influenced by easing tensions and weak demand in China.
