OPEC+ Agrees to Stick to Oil-Production Schedule

The video discusses a recent OPEC meeting where it was decided to stick with the current plan despite earlier concerns about demand due to the Delta variant. The meeting was efficient, with the JMMC panel taking only 23 minutes to make a recommendation. The ministerial meeting, which followed, saw Saudi Arabia and the UAE resolving past discord. Demand concerns have lessened, and recent EIA data shows strong oil product demand, except for jet fuel, in the US and globally. This data reassures OPEC ministers to maintain their course.
