Oil under $65 a boon for consumers, but a burden on producers

  • On Saturday, OPEC+ countries announced a large increase of 411,000 barrels per day in crude oil production for July.
  • This production hike follows pressure from President Donald Trump and aims to punish OPEC members that missed quotas, though some reports vary on motivations.
  • While lower oil prices under $65 improve consumers' disposable income and reduce transportation and manufacturing costs, they hurt oil-dependent economies like Iran, Venezuela, and Nigeria.
  • Economist Pushpin Singh explained that lower crude oil prices boost consumers' available income, encouraging spending on non-essential goods and services, while Ole Hansen pointed out that producers with higher costs will need to reduce output under these price conditions.
  • The production increase and price drop contribute to lower inflation and benefit oil-importing countries, while oil producers face reduced investment and market share shifts since 2022.
