The IEA's November 2023 Oil Market Report projects world oil demand reaching 102 mb/d in 2023, with China driving most of the increase. It forecasts demand growth slowing to 930 kb/d in 2024 as OECD economies weaken.
Supply hit a record 101.8 mb/d in 2023, led by US and Brazil output.
Slowing demand growth and record supply point to a looser crude market, which keeps energy costs for feed and transport contained. The outlook offers no clear directional shock for feed commodities.
