AI Overview
What happened: Iraq, OPEC's second-largest oil producer, is threatening to leave the cartel unless it's granted a higher production quota. This comes as its key export pipelines to Turkey expire on 27 July, potentially disrupting its oil sales. European officials will visit Baghdad to discuss energy cooperation, following Iraq's warning.
Market impact: The energy sector, particularly oil producers and refiners, could be affected. Iraq's potential OPEC exit and pipeline expiration may tighten global oil supply, driving up prices. Companies with exposure to Iraqi crude, like Turkish refiners, may face disruptions in their supply chains.
What to watch next: On 27 July, monitor the expiration of Iraq's pipeline agreement. In the coming weeks, track high-level EU-Iraq energy talks and any further developments in Iraq's OPEC quota dispute.
