This is the first increase in production by the OPEC+ group, including the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and Russia and other allies, since 2022.
  • Reduced market confidence: Recently, since mid-January, oil prices have continued to fall due to weak demand and concerns about the chain reaction of President Trump’s trade policies. At the same time, the Trump administration’s threats to launch trade frictions on multiple fronts have exacerbated market uncertainty. The US tariff policy on China is about to take effect, and the market is closely watching possible retaliatory measures.
