This production increase was mainly driven by the resumption of supply from Gulf countries, with Kuwait seeing the largest increase, followed by Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Nigeria and Libya also saw slight increases in production. The UAE withdrew from OPEC on May 1st and is no longer included in the statistics. The report noted that the previous war with Iran and the de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz had caused supply disruptions, but the subsequent lifting of restrictions on ships at Iranian ports by the United States helped to restore some production. Although OPEC+ had planned to increase production in June, it could not be fully implemented due to the war. Overall, global crude oil supply is recovering, but has not yet returned to normal levels.Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: The United States must "accept the established realities in the trade arena."Hang Seng Index futures closed down 0.2% at 23,253 points in overnight trading, a discount of 97 points.

Electrek: Tesla's China Chief Tom Zhu Takes Over North American Sales

Tom Zhu, president of China for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc, has assumed responsibility for sales, service, and delivery in North America, the Electrek website reported on Monday, citing persons familiar with the matter.


According to a post on the U.S. website devoted to news on electric mobility and sustainable energy, Zhu's formal title remains vice president in charge of Asia/Pacific.


Tesla did not immediately respond to Reuters's written requests for comment.


Reuters reported last month that Zhu and his team from Shanghai have been visiting Tesla operations in California and Texas, causing colleagues to speculate that he is being groomed for a larger job at a time when chief executive Elon Musk has been focused on his purchase of Twitter.


Under Zhu's direction, Tesla Shanghai returned strongly from lockdowns this year, bringing Tesla close to its 2022 production growth objective of 50 percent.


The company reported record production and deliveries for electric vehicles in the fourth quarter on Monday, but it missed Wall Street's predictions due to logistical difficulties, sluggish demand, rising interest rates, and fears of a recession.


Tesla's stock had its worst year since it went public in 2010 in 2022.
