OPEC oil output in May plummeted to its lowest in over two decades, dropping by 1.06 million barrels per day. This significant decline was primarily driven by a U.S. naval blockade impacting Iran's exports, making it impossible for OPEC+ members to meet their planned production increases.

OPEC plans to hike production by 200,000 barrels per day despite the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed, making it near-impossible to ship any of it.

OPEC+ approved another output increase even though the Strait of Hormuz disruption means much of the added supply may remain theoretical.
