Asian shares and U.S. futures experienced mixed trading on Monday, with technology stocks contributing to declines in Tokyo and Seoul. Oil prices fell as seven OPEC+ members, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, announced plans to increase production by a combined 188,000 barrels per day in August, marking the fifth consecutive month of output increases. This decision comes amidst ongoing uncertainty regarding oil supplies, exacerbated by a pause in talks with Iran due to funeral ceremonies for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Brent crude and U.S. benchmark crude prices saw slight decreases in early trading.
