OPEC+ members reached an agreement on Sunday to implement a modest increase in oil production quotas for May, though analysts suggest the move will have little immediate impact on global markets. The group approved a rise of 206,000 barrels per day (bpd), a figure that remains largely theoretical while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed due to the ongoing conflict involving the United States and Israel against Iran.
