OPEC+ agrees another accelerated oil output hike for June

  • Eight OPEC+ countries agreed on May 3, 2025, to increase oil production by 411,000 barrels per day in June during an online meeting.
  • 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 production increase aims to enforce compliance on over-producing members like Iraq and Kazakhstan while responding to a market pressured by global surplus and low prices.
  • Analyst Jorge Leon explained that the Saudi-led coalition is shifting its approach by increasing output to regain market share after having reduced production for several years in response to prices dropping below $60 a barrel.
  • The expanded output risks further lowering crude prices, potentially pushing American producers into unprofitability and reflecting OPEC+'s test of pricing power.
