OPEC+ raises output levels again despite tumbling crude prices

Major oil producers agreed to modestly increase crude output again, but the incremental supply is largely symbolic until a U.S.-Iran peace deal holds and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz fully resumes. The delay keeps downside/upsides for supply-driven oil prices skewed toward geopolitics risk, likely affecting broader energy market sentiment.
