OPEC+ agrees another accelerated oil output hike for June

- This decision follows a similar 411,000 bpd hike in May and reflects ongoing supply discipline issues and softer demand forecasts amid US-China trade tensions.

- The expanded output risks further lowering crude prices, potentially pushing American producers into unprofitability and reflecting OPEC+'s test of pricing power.
