Opec+ to boost oil output for third consecutive month
- On Saturday, OPEC+ announced a 411,000 barrels per day increase in oil production for July, marking the third consecutive monthly rise.
- This decision follows years of production cuts totaling 2.2 million barrels per day to support prices, amid ongoing concerns over members like Kazakhstan exceeding quotas.
- OPEC+ justified the output boost citing steady global economic outlook and low oil inventories, while analysts noted the move aims to regain market share and respond to rising seasonal demand.
- Brent crude fell 22 cents to $63.93 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate dropped 21 cents to $60.73, reflecting moderate market reaction despite fears of oversupply.
- The production increase suggests OPEC+ prioritizes market share over price, with analysts calling it a strategic geopolitical adjustment responding to U.S. Pressure and overproducing members.
