🛢️ Why OPEC+ Is Accelerating Oil Production

📉 As Prices Tank & Tariffs Hammer Global Markets

🔴 The oil world is shaken as global trade tensions spike and oil prices dip dramatically.

📉 President Trump’s sweeping tariffs are triggering a domino effect across global markets — impacting energy, trade, and investor confidence.

Citing: Tariff escalation & higher OPEC+ supply

🟡 S&P Global warns:

→ Oil demand growth could drop by 500,000 barrels/day

→ Recession fears push volatility higher

🔺 JPMorgan raises global recession odds to 60%

💥 OPEC+ Shocks Markets With Output Surge

✅ OPEC+ triples planned output increase

From ~140,000 → 411,000 barrels/day

Key players: #Saudi Arabia, #Russia, #UAE, #Iraq, #Oman, #Kazakhstan, #Kuwait, #Algeria

🔻 Oil prices dropped 6% after announcement

🧠 Why the Sudden Surge?

📌 OPEC’s View:

→ Still bullish on long-term demand

→ Believes fundamentals remain healthy

📌 Political Pressure?

→ Many analysts suggest:

"Trump’s pressure on oil prices is real"

→ Boosted output = reduced pump prices = inflation offset

📌 Market Share Play:

→ This move also signals dominance

→ Especially aimed at non-compliant members like Iraq, Kazakhstan, & even Russia

🟣 Reminder:

OPEC has used market flooding before — like in 2020, when oil crashed to $15 to regain control over Russia

🔮 What's Next?

📊 OPEC+ expects summer demand rebound

🕹️ Strategy is flexible, based on evolving tariffs & trade conditions

🚨 If oil falls further (into $60s), OPEC+ may pause or reverse hikes

💬 Analysts say:

“All it takes is one phone call to change the path.”

📈 WEEK OF TESTS FOR MARKETS: WHERE WILL DATA AND OPEC LEAD? 📉

Monday, February 3:
- First OPEC meeting in 2025 — we are waiting for signals on oil production quotas. Price spikes on Brent and WTI are possible.
- ISM PMI (manufacturing) — the index will show whether the US economy is slowing down. A value below 50 points — a red flag!

Tuesday, February 4:
- JOLTS (job openings) — indicator of labor market overheating. If the numbers are above forecast, the Fed may maintain a tight rate.

Wednesday, February 5:
- ADP employment — preview to Friday's NFP. An increase in jobs will strengthen the dollar.

Friday, February 7:
- January employment report (NFP) — the main trigger for stock and crypto markets. Forecast: +180K new jobs.
- Reporting from 20% of S&P 500 companies — Tesla, Meta, Amazon under scrutiny. Volatility is guaranteed!

Advice to investors:
- Oil: Long on growth if OPEC cuts production.
- Stocks: Lock in profits before NFP.
- Crypto: $BTC and $ETH may drop on strong employment data — prepare for a correction.

Question: Will the markets recover by Valentine's Day? 💣
