Gold Silver Reports (GSR) – OPEC has reached an agreement in principle to boost oil production, achieving a last-minute compromise that overcame Iran’s threats to veto any supply hike. The preliminary accord allows for an additional 600,000 barrels a day of oil to flow onto the market, about 0.5 percent of global supply, said a delegate. That reflects a 1 million barrel-a-day adjustment on paper to the production cuts implemented by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, the delegate said, asking not to be named because the information is private.
