OPEC+ has lost influence over the oil market amid the conflict in Iran while China is expanding its role as a key player in oil supply decisions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Oil, and 3 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your oil or energy startup must recognise that China's growing control over global oil supplies shifts power away from traditional Middle Eastern producers. You need to rethink partnerships and supply chain dependencies faster than before.
