Oil prices are in freefall after OPEC+ announced a significant output increase, raising concerns over a global surplus amid weakening demand due to ongoing trade tensions. Brent crude dropped nearly 4.6% as OPEC aims to target overproducing members.
In a surprising move, OPEC+ has decided to accelerate oil production hikes, leading to a more than $2 drop in oil prices. With Brent crude now at $59.25 a barrel, concerns grow over a potential supply surplus as tensions rise in the Middle East.
