Let us remind you that yesterday the OPEC+ ministers decided to increase oil production from January next year. But in total, it is expected to increase production by 0.5 barrels per day, and not by two million, as was assumed by the current agreement.
But on December 2, it was announced that the planned meeting of the OPEC+ countries was postponed to December 3. The postponement was due to the need to organize additional consultations and may indicate difficulties in implementing the April decision of the cartel to reduce production in order to support oil prices.
