OPEC+ has approved an increase in oil output as exports through the Strait of Hormuz recover. Brent crude prices were reported at approximately $72 per barrel on Friday, a decline from recent highs exceeding $120, according to SABC Business.

Analysts suggest that there may be relief in fuel prices as Brent crude oil prices have recently dropped significantly to approximately 73 dollars per barrel. This decline in oil prices could potentially lead to lower fuel costs for consumers.

Oil prices fell sharply on Thursday, reaching their lowest levels since the onset of the US-Iran conflict, following an interim agreement between the United States and Iran that alleviated concerns over global crude supply. According to Reuters, Brent crude futures decreased by $1.53.
