Summary
OPEC+ has decided to extend its voluntary crude production cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day until the end of March 2025, followed by a gradual phase-out by September 2026. The decision is driven by concerns over global demand, particularly from China, and the complexities of potential U.S. sanctions under President-elect Donald Trump affecting oil production in Iran and Venezuela. The extended cuts come in the face of rising U.S. production, which could impact global oil prices and market stability.
