# OPEC 7 Decide to Boost Production in July | Rigzone

> OPEC ministers agreed on June 7 to raise July oil quotas by 188,000 bpd in a video meeting. Rystad Energy analyst Jorge Leon said the increase means very little while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The statement said the group wanted to accelerate compensation for overproduction at a time of historically high oil prices.

## Why it matters

Analysts view the increase as a policy signal rather than real supply, so it is unlikely to move prices materially. Energy costs for feed mills and transport remain driven by Hormuz disruption.
