Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
As the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to impact oil markets, Opec+ producers are restoring the last of the production cuts agreed in 2020 in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In this episode of The Crude Report, our Middle East Editor Nader Itayim and Editor-in-Chief Jim Washer discuss where Opec+ output policy goes next, the alliance’s anxieties over limited spare capacity, and what to expect from US President Joe Biden’s forthcoming trip to the Mideast Gulf.
