Iraq's oil ministry spokesman said total oilfield production currently exceeds 3.0 mln b/d, with exports via southern ports at about 2.2 mln b/d.

Fed Governor Kashkari said the recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields is unlikely to alter policy deliberations, adding that the Treasury market is functioning normally and liquidity is ample. He said this supports using the federal funds rate as the primary tool to bring down inflation. Last week yields rose across maturities; the 10-year closed near 4.73% and the 30-year remained around its highest level since 2007. Kashkari noted current yields are high versus recent history but well below 1990s levels, said more data are needed, he would not pre-judge the next meeting, and he does not expect inflation to return to target in the near term.
