The International Energy Agency said global oil markets are tightening quickly as Venezuela's output fell to about 1.61 million bpd in December, near a 30-year low, and could fall further in 2018. OPEC's December crude output dropped to 32.23 million bpd, lifting its compliance to 129%.
A tightening market driven by Venezuelan declines and OPEC compliance supports crude prices, which raises energy and transport costs across feed supply chains.
