NEW YORK, May 6. /TASS/. Oil production in OPEC countries dropped in April 2026 by 420,000 barrels per day to a 36-year minimum, Bloomberg reports.

Just 20.55 mln barrels of oil were lifted daily due to the conflict in the Middle East, the news agency said on the basis of its survey.

The largest disruption on the oil market in history entailed a spike in gasoline, jet and diesel fuel prices, which threatens in its turn by a new inflation wave and global recession.
