The IEA's monthly report raised its forecast for 2025 global oil supply growth to 2.7 million bpd from 2.5 million bpd, and projects a further 2.1 million bpd increase in 2026. The agency linked the revision to OPEC+ unwinding its second layer of cuts faster than scheduled.
A larger projected surplus means more crude available than demand requires, which weighs on oil prices. The forecast reinforces the bearish outlook for energy costs that feed into feed production.
