The OPEC decision follows the European Union&#8217;s partial Russian oil embargo that passed this week, and the US sanctions against Russia from March. <\/p>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s news also opens the door for Saudi Arabia to ramp up its own output if wartime sanctions force Russia to pump less crude. <\/p>\n<p>OPEC + and non-members like Russia agreed previously to lift production, but some countries have floated the idea of \u200b\u200bexcluding Moscow from its quota after it missed its target. <\/p>\n<p>In the US, domestic shortages have spurred record prices at the pump, as well as surges in the price of diesel, natural gas, and jet fuel.  <\/p>\n<p>President Biden has not yet worked with Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Mohammed Bin Salam, and the crown prince has spurned calls from the White House.  But with energy prices surging, pressure is mounting for Biden to visit Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg reports. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil prices turned higher after OPEC + announced a larger-than-expected increase of oil output.
