Oil in Global Economy Series: OPEC production at 29.8 million barrels in June

OPEC’s monthly report last week and its shows that OPEC, as a group remains over compliant with the agreement that was agreed upon back in November last year between OPEC and non-OPEC countries led by Russia.

The deal has been a key support for the oil bulls since it came into existence back in 2016. In the 2018 agreement, OPEC, along with Russia led non-OPEC countries agreed to reduce production by 1.2 million barrels per day.

WTI is currently trading at $60.4 per barrel and Brent at $6.7 per barrel premium to WTI.
