Oil prices fell for the first time in three weeks, with expectations mounting that OPEC+ will raise production in July, Bloomberg reported.
Oil markets ended the week lower, with Brent crude dipping near $64 a barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) falling below $61. Bloomberg attributes the decline to signals that OPEC+ may approve a production increase of 411,000 barrels per day at its upcoming 1 June meeting.
The potential supply boost comes amid ongoing concerns about a global surplus and weakening demand, particularly as commercial stockpiles in the U.S. continue to rise. Brent and WTI have both lost roughly 2% this week, marking oil’s first weekly drop in nearly a month.
Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect OPEC+ to maintain its recent shift toward prioritising market share over prices, after easing output cuts faster than anticipated earlier this year. Oil prices have already fallen around 14% since January, touching their lowest levels since 2021.
