Nigeria boosted crude oil production to the highest level in over six years in June, surpassing its OPEC production quota. The regulator attributed the increase to stable operations and improved pipeline reliability. While not a global shock, the quota overrun and higher Nigerian supply could modestly affect regional crude balances and near-term oil sentiment.
