Imperial Petroleum (NASDAQ:IMPP) stock is gaining on Monday as energy shares rally thanks to news from overseas.

That news comes from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+). The organization has announced that it’s cutting oil production by more than 1 million barrels per day. This is set to last through the end of 2023.

With the cut in oil production, other oil stocks are getting a boost. In particular, this has European oil stocks seeing a rally today as both big and small companies in the sector see their shares lift each other higher on the OPEC+ announcement.

OPEC+ says that the decrease in oil production is being made to combat a potential decrease in demand. To go along with its announcement, the price of crude oil got a boost over the weekend.

What This Means for IMPP Stock

With the price of crude oil rising, it makes sense that IMPP and other oil stocks would climb higher. These companies will benefit from increasing oil prices with increasing profits. And that could last for some time, considering that OPEC+’s decreased production will last all year.

On that same note, this news has IMPP stock seeing strong pre-market trading. As of this writing, more than 4 million shares have changed hands. That’s not a bad start to the day, considering the company’s daily average trading volume of about 8.4 million shares.

IMPP stock is up 18.1% as of Monday morning.
