The largest group of oil-producing nations agreed over the weekend to sharply increase crude production for the third month in a row, a move intended to reassert control over the market by driving oil prices lower.
OPEC+ — the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies — announced Saturday that it will increase production by 411,000 barrels a day in July, following similar hikes in May and June, in a move to punish countries that are over-producing oil, such as Iraq and Kazakhstan, and for oil-producing nations like Saudi Arabia to win back market share from U.S. shale drillers.
