Oil majors suffering from OPEC+ output hike, not from U.S. tariffs, Eni exec says

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 04/04/25 06:20 AM EDT

CERNOBBIO, Italy (Reuters) - Oil majors are suffering after eight OPEC+ countries unexpectedly agreed to increase oil output in May, while tariffs imposed by U.S. administration had a muted effect on the sector, Eni's top executive Francesco Gattei said on Friday.

He added that energy groups could react to the possibility of tariffs denting global economic growth, reducing demand for power.

The actual increase in OPEC+ production could result lower than announced when taking into account a stricter U.S. embargo on Venezuela and the potential drop in Kazakhstan's oil flows, Gattei added, speaking on the sidelines of a business conference.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
