OPEC+ Nations Agree to Modest Rise in Production
Seven OPEC+ members said the cautious increase is meant to signal business as usual and support market stability.
- Seven OPEC+ nations, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, agreed on Sunday to increase oil production by 188,000 barrels per day starting in June as part of a commitment to "market stability."
- The production move comes as the Strait of Hormuz shipping route has been effectively closed since the Iran war began on Feb. 28, making the increase largely symbolic amid global supply constraints.
- Following the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave the alliance, Adnoc announced plans to spend roughly $55 billion on upcoming projects to help meet rising global demand.

- Rabobank global energy strategist Joe DeLaura called the Adnoc statement "a definite message," as the alliance now includes 21 members adjusting to shifting dynamics following the UAE's withdrawal.

The move is largely symbolic — the extra 188,000 barrels a day is modest, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz means little will reach its destination anyway. But the oil cartel is in turmoil, both because of disruption from the Iran war and because the United Arab Emirates, a central member, left last week citing unreasonabl…
