OPEC Head Rejects Criticism Over Output Plan
OIL
OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais defended the recent adjustments to the OPEC+ output deal, citing it as a success, according to Reuters.
- Al Ghais was optimistic about continued strong demand, highlighting a rebound in travel as a key driver.
- OPEC+ agreed to rollover their voluntary output cuts into Q3 but will begin unwinding the curbs from October and gradually throughout 2025.
- This caused a recent softening in oil prices as the market viewed the plan as bearish, expecting the deal to add further length to the market.
