OPEC Expects Slower Growth in Oil Supply from Rivals in 2025 Following Price Drop - Jordan News
OPEC Expects Slower Growth in Oil Supply from Rivals in 2025 Following Price Drop The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on Wednesday revised down its forecast for oil supply growth from the United States and other non-OPEC+ producers for this year, citing an expected decline in capital spending due to falling oil prices. اضافة اعلان In its monthly report, OPEC stated that supply from countries outside the Declaration of Cooperation — the official name for the OPEC+ alliance — is projected to increase by around 800,000 barrels per day in 2025, down from last month's forecast of 900,000 barrels per day. A slowdown in supply growth from outside OPEC+, which includes OPEC, Russia, and other allies, would make it easier for the group to balance the global oil market. The rapid growth of U.S. shale oil and production from other countries has impacted prices over the past few years. OPEC left its forecast for global oil demand growth unchanged for both 2025 and 2026, following a downward revision last month. The organization cited the impact of first-quarter demand data and the influence of tariffs.

Oil jumps after OPEC+ sticks to same output hike in July versus June
Ammon News - Oil prices rebounded more than $1 a barrel on Monday after producer group OPEC+ decided to increase output in July by the same amount as it did in each of the prior two months, which came as a relief to those who expected a bigger increase. Brent crude futures climbed $1.34, or 2.13%, to $64.12 a barrel by 0346 GMT after settling 0.9% lower on Friday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $62.31 a barrel, up $1.52, or 2.5%, following a 0.3% decline in the previous session. Both contracts were down more than 1% last week. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies decided on Saturday to raise output by 411,000 barrels per day in July, the third month the group known as OPEC+ increased by the same amount, as it looks to wrestle back market share and punish over-producers. Oil traders said the 411,000-bpd output hike had already been priced into Brent and WTI futures. Traders are also closely watching the impact of lower prices on U.S. crude production which hit an all-time high of 13.49 million bpd in March. Last week, the number of operating oil rigs in the U.S. fell for a fifth week, down four to 461, the lowest since November 2021, Baker Hughes said in its weekly report on Friday. Reuters

Jordan halts hiring of foreign workers
Jordan's Ministry of Labor suspended Thursday the recruitment of non-Jordanian workers after a three-month window. The decision aims at meeting the labor needs of various economic sectors, the ministry's spokesperson, Mohammad Al-Zyoud, said in a statement Thursday. He noted that the ministry will not reopen recruitment without a thorough and comprehensive review of the labor market. Al-Zyoud stressed that inspection campaigns will continue in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and Public Security Directorate (PSD) across all governorates to identify and take legal action against employers hiring undocumented foreign workers. The inspections also aim to ensure that workers brought in by private-sector businesses are employed by the companies that sponsored them. Strict penalties will be imposed on any business found in violation, including suspension of recruitment privileges and refusal to renew work permits issued under the company's name.
