Oil prices have risen to more than $80 per barrel as OPEC+ announced a surprise production cut of about 1.16 million barrels per day.

This has further increased the total OPEC+ cut to 3.66 million bpd in the past few months.

Expectedly, the United States has criticized the action, arguing that the cut was not in the best interest of the market, currently haunted by uncertainties.
