However, recent producer guidance points to flat or modest production growth for the remainder of the year, providing little additional relief to price-weary consumers.

The $2.4 trillion set to be invested in energy this year includes record spending on renewables but falls short of plugging a supply gap and tackling climate change, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Wednesday.
Rising 8% from the previous year when the pandemic was more severe, the investment includes big increases in the power sector and efforts to bolster energy efficiency, the Paris-based watchdog said in its annual report on investment.
"A massive surge in investment to accelerate clean energy transitions is the only lasting solution," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.
"This kind of investment is rising, but we need a much faster increase to ease the pressure on consumers from high fossil fuel prices, make our energy systems more secure, and get the world on track to reach our climate goals."
