Summary
OPEC+ is ramping up oil production by 188,000 barrels daily as seven key members—including Saudi Arabia and Russia—push back against falling prices, which have dropped to below $72 a barrel since war-related disruptions. The move comes amid renewed shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz, though traffic remains far below pre-war levels as Iran warns tankers to stay on approved routes or face consequences. Brent crude’s plunge from $120 in March underscores the lingering global energy crisis, with experts predicting Gulf output won’t fully rebound until early 2027—and prices will stay elevated long after hostilities ease.
