Description: OPEC+ agreed to extend existing oil production cuts of more than 3 million barrels per day through the end of 2025, as well as ongoing cuts of over 2 million barrels per day through September 2024. The cuts could raise global oil prices by prolonging supply restrictions at a time when demand concerns remain. Higher prices could negatively impact the US economy ahead of the 2024 elections. The Biden administration may be concerned about a potential spike in energy costs impacting voters. It has taken some actions to increase fuel supply and tamp down prices.
