"US Oil Production Surpasses OPEC, Crushing Market Share"
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that OPEC's market share of the oil market has dropped to its lowest level since 2016, standing at 51%. This decline is attributed to record-breaking oil production from the United States, Brazil, and Guyana. The IEA also noted a sharp slowdown in global oil demand amid economic turmoil. OPEC+ members have responded by announcing extensive production cuts to prevent an inventory build-up, while the US is expected to increase its oil supply by 1.4 million barrels per day. The IEA predicts a slowdown in crude demand and lowered its forecast for global oil demand growth in 2023.
