š„ OPEC+ Shocks Markets With Output Surge
ā
OPEC+ triples planned output increase
From ~140,000 ā 411,000 barrels/day
Key players: #Saudi Arabia, #Russia, #UAE, #Iraq, #Oman, #Kazakhstan, #Kuwait, #Algeria
š» Oil prices dropped 6% after announcement
š§ Why the Sudden Surge?
š OPECās View:
ā Still bullish on long-term demand
ā Believes fundamentals remain healthy
š Political Pressure?
ā Many analysts suggest:
"Trumpās pressure on oil prices is real"
ā Boosted output = reduced pump prices = inflation offset
š Market Share Play:
ā This move also signals dominance
ā Especially aimed at non-compliant members like Iraq, Kazakhstan, & even Russia
š£ Reminder:
OPEC has used market flooding before ā like in 2020, when oil crashed to $15 to regain control over Russia
š® What's Next?
š OPEC+ expects summer demand rebound
š¹ļø Strategy is flexible, based on evolving tariffs & trade conditions
šØ If oil falls further (into $60s), OPEC+ may pause or reverse hikes
š¬ Analysts say:
āAll it takes is one phone call to change the path.ā
