Seven OPEC+ countries agreed to add a combined 188,000 barrels per day to output in the coming month, the fifth consecutive monthly increase. The decision follows a fall in fuel prices after the US and Iran reached an interim deal that reopened the Strait of Hormuz to shipping.
Additional barrels from OPEC+ add to supply just as Hormuz traffic recovers, which pressures crude prices. Buyers of fuel and energy-linked feed inputs should expect softer energy costs unless the strait disruption returns.
