The IEA now expects global oil supply to exceed demand in Q4 2026 by about 1.7 million bpd, reversing its earlier deficit forecast. OPEC+ output reached 41.23 million bpd in October, about 2.04 million bpd above September, as Gulf producers moved crude through ship-to-ship transfers and expanded pipelines.
A shift to surplus from recovering Middle East exports pushes crude and diesel lower, reducing energy and freight costs for feed makers while easing the energy-linked support for biofuel feedstocks.
