Iraq aims to boost oil output to 8-10 million bpd in six years

Iraq sent a delegation to Saudi Arabia seeking a higher OPEC output quota as it plans to raise oil production to 8–10 million barrels per day over the next six years. The move signals potential incremental OPEC supply, which could pressure crude benchmarks depending on how quotas are adjusted. Net impact is likely moderate, focused on oil-linked equities and the energy sector rather than the broader market.
