The oil cartel last cut crude output in April with an aim to provide market stability, as per Saudi Arabia, OPEC's dominant member. While oil markets fell sharply last week with benchmark contracts falling 7 per cent 9 per cent on market selloff, prices rose on Friday and Monday as fears of recession eased in the US- the world's biggest oil consumer. As per the April OPEC+ report, the world oil demand growth estimate for 2022 remains at 2.5 million barrels per day, broadly unchanged from the assessment in March.
