Brent jumped $3/BL to $102. I think some were counting on a bigger increase from OPEC+

OPEC+ has said for months that they would stick to their plan, they don’t really have any choice. They can’t ramp up production anytime soon, the required investments haven’t been made. Also, the USA refineries are already running at full capacity, more oil doesn’t help if you can’t refine it.

Oil industry insiders say enjoy the current “low” price while you can, it won’t last.

What’s pathetic here is that Biden’s recession may reduce demand thus reduce prices so he can take credit.

OPEC deserves a well-earned "LOL."

Nothing could say more clearly what they think of him.

Wait, wait, wait. I thought OPEC said they had no way to produce more oil. Now this. What’s up with that?

“Wait, wait, wait. I thought OPEC said they had no way to produce more oil. Now this. What’s up with that?”

100k barrels a month is a drop in the bucket. This plan has been in place and public for at least a year. It’s what they can do. They have very little spare capacity and that can’t change quickly, they haven’t been investing in future production. Takes several years from investing to producing. They are smart and know exactly what they are doing.
