# Oil Market Report - November 2018 - IEA

> The IEA's November report sees 2018 global oil demand growth at 1.3 mb/d and 2019 at 1.4 mb/d. Record output from Saudi Arabia, Russia and the US more than offsets declines in Iran and Venezuela, and October refining margins fell to their lowest since 2014.

## Why it matters

Strong supply growth and weaker refining margins point to a looser crude market and lower energy costs ahead. Lower oil prices ease input costs for feed producers, though slowing non-OECD demand adds downside risk.
