Oil Inches up on Supply Concerns and Weaker Dollar
- Oil prices rose on Monday due to supply concerns from Alberta wildfires and ongoing geopolitical tensions involving Russia and Ukraine.
- These price pressures followed OPEC+ maintaining a July output increase of 411,000 barrels per day, matching previous months' modest hikes.
- The Alberta wildfires temporarily halted about 344,000 barrels per day of production, equivalent to roughly 7% of Canada’s total output, tightening supply further.

- Meanwhile, Iran was poised to reject a U.S. nuclear deal proposal, which could prolong sanctions and limit Iranian oil supply, sustaining market uncertainty this year.
