Oil prices rise more than 2%; IEF says non-OPEC+ states need to boost production
IEF Secretary General Joseph McMonigle said actors other than just the OPEC+ need to start increasing oil production.
“A lot of people think the gap between supply and demand is all OPEC or OPEC+, but half of that is still from U.S. producers who are not coming in and who are not producing at the same levels they were pre-Covid,” he elaborated.
McMonigle added the greatest challenge of imposing oil price cap on Russia proposed by the G-7 is “getting countries like India and China, and Russia of course, to participate.”
Brent crude futures climbed 2.9%, to $95.72 a barrel while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures also rose 2.62% to $89.16 a barrel.
