The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC +, uniting 23 countries, cut supplies by a record 9.7 million barrels per day from May 1 to support the market. They decided to join another 9 countries that had previously avoided a reduction in production. In this case, the reduction can reach 15-20 million barrels per day.
The supply data indicate the start of confident implementation of the OPEC + agreement. The threat of market oversupply and oil storage overflow is weakening.
