Crude oil prices declined after OPEC agreed to raise production by 548,000 barrels per day in August. Oil prices also came under pressure as US officials flagged a delay on tariffs but failed to provide details on the change.

OPEC+ attributed the production hike to steady global economic conditions and strong market fundamentals, pointing to low inventory levels as justification for the move.

OPEC oil output rose in June, a Reuters survey found, led by Saudi Arabia after an OPEC+ agreement to raise production, although the increase was limited as Iraq pumped below target to compensate for earlier overproduction.
