OPEC+ tipped to raise quotas again as Middle East calms

OPEC+ is expected to increase oil production quotas by around 188,000 barrels per day in August, according to analysts. The decision comes as Gulf countries recover from disruptions caused by Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz during the Middle East conflict. Saudi Arabia, Russia, and five other OPEC+ members are set to meet online to discuss production levels. Analysts suggest that while production may rise, it is still likely to remain below the group's target levels. The recent agreement between Iran and the US has led to improved shipping conditions and a decline in oil prices.
