đąïž Why OPEC+ Is Accelerating Oil Production
đ As Prices Tank & Tariffs Hammer Global Markets
đŽ The oil world is shaken as global trade tensions spike and oil prices dip dramatically.
đ President Trumpâs sweeping tariffs are triggering a domino effect across global markets â impacting energy, trade, and investor confidence.
Citing: Tariff escalation & higher OPEC+ supply
đĄ S&P Global warns:
â Oil demand growth could drop by 500,000 barrels/day

đ„ OPEC+ Shocks Markets With Output Surge
â
OPEC+ triples planned output increase
From ~140,000 â 411,000 barrels/day
Key players: #Saudi Arabia, #Russia, #UAE, #Iraq, #Oman, #Kazakhstan, #Kuwait, #Algeria
đ» Oil prices dropped 6% after announcement
đ§ Why the Sudden Surge?
đ OPECâs View:
â Still bullish on long-term demand
â Believes fundamentals remain healthy
đ Political Pressure?
â Many analysts suggest:
"Trumpâs pressure on oil prices is real"
â Boosted output = reduced pump prices = inflation offset
đ Market Share Play:
â This move also signals dominance
â Especially aimed at non-compliant members like Iraq, Kazakhstan, & even Russia
đŁ Reminder:
OPEC has used market flooding before â like in 2020, when oil crashed to $15 to regain control over Russia
đź What's Next?
đ OPEC+ expects summer demand rebound
đčïž Strategy is flexible, based on evolving tariffs & trade conditions
đš If oil falls further (into $60s), OPEC+ may pause or reverse hikes
đŹ Analysts say:
âAll it takes is one phone call to change the path.â
