📉📄Also the OPEC agreement on April 1, where the participants agreed to increase oil production: OPEC+ will increase production by 350,000 barrels per day (bpd) in May and June and will continue with an increase of 450,000 barrels per day in July.
📌According to analysts, the price of oil will fall to $ 61 per barrel at the end of the second quarter, and to $ 53.4 per barrel by the end.
