OPEC July oil output hits 15-month high as demand recovers

OPEC oil output rose in July to its highest since April 2020 as the group further eased production curbs under an OPEC+ pact. Saudi Arabia delivered the biggest increase in July of 460,000 bpd, as it further unwound its voluntary cut and raised output while OPEC has pumped 26.72 million bpd, up 610,000 bpd from June’s revised estimate. OPEC+ have been unwinding record output cuts agreed in April 2020, as demand and the economy recover.
