OPEC+ Raises Oil Quotas
The production hike is seen as largely gesture-based, as several key members are currently unable to meet their existing targets due to regional instability.
Iranian drone strikes on Kuwaiti oil infrastructure have further tightened the market, causing severe material damage to desalination and power plants.

Analysts suggest that without a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, energy prices will continue to face upward pressure regardless of quota adjustments.
