OPEC+ is discussing whether to further boost production at next week’s meeting as the oil market looks increasingly tight.

Moscow is considering making a proposal that the group should ease a global supply deficit by increasing output, according to Russian officials familiar with the matter. Other OPEC+ nations are also discussing a potential supply hike in August, although specific numbers haven’t been mentioned, said a delegate.
