- Iran's oil production cut of 400,000 bpd due to storage constraints has a slightly bullish influence on US equities. Reduced global supply could lead to higher oil prices, benefiting US energy companies. However, the impact is limited by the fact that this is already known and priced into the market.
Investing.com -- Iran has reduced its oil production by approximately 400,000 barrels per day and is expected to decrease output further as storage capacity reaches its limits, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Thursday.
