OPEC to Boost Crude Oil Production Despite High Gas Prices
OPEC and allied nations agreed to raise crude output by 648000 bpd in August, a move seen as largely symbolic for easing high fuel costs. Russia, Nigeria, and Angola face capacity and sanctions limits while Saudi Arabia and the UAE may supply spare capacity. President Biden urged increased flows and considered using reserves or tax suspensions to lower prices.

Credit agencies curb medical debt on reports nationwide
Three major U S credit agencies will stop counting paid medical debt and extend the grace period before reporting delinquent medical debt to collections. Starting next year unpaid medical debt under 500 dollars may also be excluded. The move aims to wipe out roughly 70 percent of medical debt on consumer reports amid calls to remove medical debt from credit scoring altogether.
