OPEC+ agrees on third oil supply surge despite Russia's qualms

The hike matches increases scheduled for May and June, marking a radical reversal from defending prices to actively driving them lower.
The article from Fortune, dated May 31, 2025, discusses the ongoing tensions within OPEC+ as the alliance faces its third oil supply surge.

The surge in oil supply is partly attributed to increased production from U.S. shale oil, which continues to challenge OPEC+'s control over global oil markets. The article highlights the delicate balance OPEC+ must maintain to manage oil prices without alienating members or losing market influence, amidst a backdrop of geopolitical tensions and economic recovery efforts post-COVID.
