After OPEC+'s Shock Decision, the World Asks: Is the Market Ready?
Monday, 7 July 2025 07:22 WIB | OIL |brent oilOil,Crude Oil

World oil prices fell again after OPEC+ announced a larger-than-expected increase in production starting next month. The group of oil producing countries led by Saudi Arabia agreed to increase supply by 548,000 barrels per day, which immediately sparked concerns about oversupply in the global market. This caused Brent oil prices to fall by 1.6% to $67 per barrel.

The decision was announced on Saturday, as part of OPEC+'s strategy to adjust production to summer demand. This increase in production is much higher than market expectations, which previously estimated an additional 411,000 barrels. The move is also considered a response to President Donald Trump's call for more affordable fuel prices.

The oil market is currently in an unstable situation due to a combination of geopolitical factors and trade policies. The conflict between Israel and Iran, although it has reached a ceasefire, still causes uncertainty. On the other hand, the new tariff policy from the US which will come into effect on August 1 also adds pressure to the outlook for global oil demand.

OPEC+ said its decision was based on a stable global economic outlook and healthy market fundamentals. However, some analysts warn that demand could decline after the summer, risking further falls in oil prices. The next OPEC+ meeting is scheduled for August 3 to discuss potential additional production in September.
