# OPEC+ announces symbolic oil output rise during Strait of Hormuz closure

> OPEC+ announced a modest, largely symbolic 188,000 bpd oil output increase for June while the US-Israel war on Iran disrupts Gulf supplies through Hormuz. Saudi Arabia's quota rises to 10.291 million bpd, well above its actual March production of 7.76 million bpd.

## Why it matters

Saudi quota headroom far above actual output shows the increase cannot restore physical supply until Hormuz reopens, so energy-linked feed input costs stay supported.
