Utput Cuts News Today

OPEC and its allies have yet to begin formal talks on extending voluntary oil output cuts of 2.2 million barrels per day beyond June, but three sources from OPEC+ producers said they could keep their cuts if demand fails to pick up. OPEC+ has implemented a series of output cuts since late 2022 amid rising output from the United States and other non-member producers, and worries over demand as major economies grapple with high interest rates.
