On Thursday OPEC leaders agreed not to reduce global oil output, thereby increasing the price of the commodity.

We need to increase the intelligence of reporters.

Lowering the price of the commodity.

You reduce production to increase the price of a commodity by making it scarcer and driving up demand for it.

Good to know they’re ignorant of economics at OPEC.

Very clumsy wording for sure. I think he had the idea right but expressed it poorly.

Reducing output would have increased prices, if they had done it, which they didn’t. :=)
