OPEC+ meeting scheduled for June 6

Today it became known that the ministerial meetings of OPEC and OPEC + will be held on the same day, June 6. The decision to hold these events suggests that countries that are not fully implementing the deal (Iraq, Nigeria and Kazakhstan) in the past months have promised to compensate for this later by increasing production cuts. Approximately 1.5 million bpd in the following months.

In May, OPEC countries were to reduce production by 6.085 million bpd from 26.7 million bpd. According to preliminary data, OPEC countries completed the deal in May by about 75%, in particular because of Iraq and Nigeria. Nigeria reported that it completed the deal by 52%.

This news provided strong support for Brent quotes: on Friday, oil rose to $41.60 per barrel.
