OPEC Plus, a group of crude oil producing countries, may cut crude oil production by 3 percent, or more than 1 million barrels per day (1 million barrels).

This news has come at a time when the OPEC+ meeting is going to be held in Vienna on Wednesday.

A representative from the OPEC+ group told news agency Reuters that the higher-than-expected cuts indicate that the global economy is slowing rapidly due to the tightening of monetary policies.

The strengthening of the dollar also affected the price of crude oil. However, the decision on cutting oil production will be taken only after the meeting of ministers.

Crude oil price.

Due to the fear of recession in the world’s major economies, the price of crude oil in the international market has seen a big reduction in the last few months.

At the beginning of the Russo-Ukraine war, the price of crude oil had crossed $ 125 per barrel, but now it has come down to around $ 87.

Let us tell you, by cutting crude oil production, countries like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and UAE want to keep the price of oil around $100.
