Crude oil traded below $69 per barrel on Monday, hovering near its lowest levels since late February as recovering energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz and expectations of higher OPEC+ output fueled concerns over a potential supply glut. OPEC+ members approved another modest increase in collective production quotas for next month, with seven countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia agreeing to raise output by 188,000 barrels per day. The decision reflects the group’s confidence in boosting production as conditions across the Middle East continue to stabilize. Major Persian Gulf producers have also been increasing supply, with Saudi Arabia’s exports climbing close to pre-war levels, while the UAE, which left OPEC during the conflict, has likewise restored shipments. Meanwhile, oil and gas tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz showed signs of normalizing on Sunday, a day after several vessels made unexplained U-turns and detours along the critical energy route.
