OPEC+ set to agree July oil output hike this week, sources say
OPEC+ is expected to approve an oil output increase of 411,000 barrels per day for July, continuing the gradual easing of production cuts.
Insight
The anticipated output hike by OPEC+ reflects a response to recovering global oil demand. While this move aims to stabilize oil markets and support member economies, it also risks contributing to oversupply if demand projections are overestimated. The decision underscores the delicate balance OPEC+ must maintain between supporting prices and meeting market needs.
