On the other hand, oil is the protagonist this Friday after the OPEC + agreement. It is an agreement that convinces the two opposing parties, the one that wanted to maintain the production cut during the next quarter at 7.7 million, and the one that wanted to increase it. In the end, instead of reducing the production cut to 5.8 million euros, as the large producers had previously agreed, this reduction in pumping will be 7.2 million barrels per day. This means that production will not rise by 1.9 million barrels per day, but only by 500,000. The Brent barrel is trading at this time close to 50 dollars, with increases of 2%.
