Oil Prices Fall 1% as OPEC+ Announces Increase in Output

MIDDLE EAST, RUSSIA, UNITED STATES, JUN 29 – OPEC+ plans to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day in August, restoring nearly 80% of voluntary cuts amid steady global demand and cautious economic outlook, analysts said.

  • On July 5, OPEC+ agreed to increase crude oil output by roughly 548 thousand barrels each day starting in August to address concerns about supply.
  • The decision followed the June 24 Washington-brokered ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which reduced the wartime premium on oil prices after 12 days of conflict.
  • Eight OPEC+ members including Saudi Arabia and Russia participated in a virtual meeting in New York to confirm the production increase amid cautious global demand outlooks.
  • Richard Bronze from Energy Aspects indicated that the group is expected to proceed with the accelerated unwinding planned for August, while Brent crude was trading around $67.63 per barrel.
  • The supply boost could further lower prices but uncertainties remain due to Iran's nuclear program and ongoing geopolitical risks affecting future market stability.
