The crude market also continues to tap into moves by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies (OPEC+) agreement to ramp up output by a previously announced 411,000 barrels per day in July. The group rejected a Saudi recommendation for a bigger output hike, part of a broader strategy to win back market share for OPEC+. The US oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, fell by four to 559 in the week to June 6, the lowest since November 2021, energy services firm Baker Hughes said on Friday.
