Big Oil Stocks Fall as OPEC+ Ends Output Cuts

  • Oil prices are extending declines early Tuesday
  • Shares of big oil companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips are falling as a result
  • OPEC+ plans to end voluntary output reductions later this year
  • BP’s ADRs fell 2.1% due to S&P Global downgrading its outlook
  • WTI and Brent crude prices have dropped by over 9% in the past week

Oil prices are experiencing a decline early Tuesday, causing shares of major oil companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips to fall. This is due to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia (OPEC+) planning to end voluntary output reductions later this year. BP’s American depositary receipts also fell 2.1% after S&P Global downgraded its outlook, citing increased buybacks and dividend hikes that make it harder for the company to pay off debt. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and Brent crude prices have both dropped by over 9% in the past week.
