Stock markets in Asia experienced a downturn as U.S. officials hinted at tariff delays without clarity, while OPEC+ surprised with a larger-than-expected oil production increase, raising concerns about inflation and economic growth.
OPEC+ is set to ramp up oil production more quickly than anticipated, as the alliance led by Saudi Arabia responds to robust summer demand. This move aims to reclaim market share and unwind recent output cuts a year ahead of schedule.
In a surprising decision, OPEC+ has agreed to increase oil production for the third consecutive month, despite Russia's concerns. This move could drastically reshape the global oil market.
