This production increase was mainly driven by the resumption of supply from Gulf countries, with Kuwait seeing the largest increase, followed by Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Nigeria and Libya also saw slight increases in production. The UAE withdrew from OPEC on May 1st and is no longer included in the statistics. The report noted that the previous war with Iran and the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz had caused supply disruptions, but the subsequent lifting of restrictions on ships at Iranian ports by the United States helped to restore some production. Although OPEC+ had planned to increase production in June, it could not be fully implemented due to the war. Overall, global crude oil supply is recovering, but has not yet returned to normal levels.Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: The United States must "accept the established realities in the trade arena."Hang Seng Index futures closed down 0.2% at 23,253 points in overnight trading, a discount of 97 points.

Due to the country's current market conditions as well as a weak crypto market globally, U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced on Wednesday that it would stop operating in Japan as of next month.


Kraken said in a statement that it will cease to be registered with the Financial Services Agency (JFSA) as of January 31, at which point customers must withdraw their holdings of fiat currency and cryptocurrencies.


According to Kraken, it is fully funded so that all impacted clients can quickly withdraw their assets.


Due to the depressed demand for digital assets, Kraken announced last month that it would reduce its workforce by 30%, or roughly 1,100 employees.


The biggest cryptocurrency market, which includes Bitcoin, has dropped by $1.4 trillion as a result of the demise of Sam Bankman-FTX Fried's empire, Celsius, and the purported "stablecoins" terraUSD and Luna. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has lost 60% of its value this year.
