The IEA's November 2026 Oil Market Report forecasts world oil demand falling 2.7 mb/d in 2026 to 102.3 mb/d, before a 2 mb/d rebound in 2027. Global oil supply rose 2.3 mb/d to 105.4 mb/d in October on higher Gulf exports despite attacks on energy infrastructure and tankers.
Higher supply and weaker demand point to a looser crude market, which eases energy costs for feed producers through diesel, fertilizer and freight channels. Refinery margins weakened on record freight costs, a further pressure on diesel-linked logistics.
