Oil prices rise due to summer demand and OPEC+ cuts

Oil prices rose on Monday, driven by forecasts of a supply deficit from peak summer fuel consumption and OPEC+ cuts, despite global economic challenges and increased non-OPEC+ output.

Brent crude futures reached $85.53 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures hit $82.05 a barrel. Both contracts saw significant gains in June, as OPEC+ extended oil output cuts into 2025.

Analysts predict supply deficits in the third quarter due to summer demand. The Energy Information Administration reported a four-month high in oil production and demand in April. Hopes for a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cut and rising geopolitical concerns also supported prices.
