World oil demand will fall by one point six million barrels a day in 2026, a deeper contraction than the one million a day it forecast in July, the International Energy Agency said in its Oil Market Report published on Wednesday, pointing to the continuing closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the high fuel…
The International Energy Agency has warned that the security of oil supply has come under renewed strain, saying that an escalation in hostilities affecting the Strait of Hormuz and regional energy infrastructure has increased concerns over the flow of crude to world markets. In a statement on 21 July, the agency also pointed to emerging…
Global oil supply rebounded by a sharp 4.1 million barrels a day to 98.8 million barrels a day in June as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz partially resumed, the International Energy Agency said in its July Oil Market Report, offering the most detailed accounting yet of how the market is healing from one…

OPEC and the International Energy Agency have collided publicly over the direction of the oil market, with OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al Ghais dismissing the IEA’s forecast of a looming supply glut as premature and not grounded in “facts and figures,” in an unusually open disagreement between the two most influential voices in global energy.

The larger shift is the rapid buildout of high density data centres, accelerator chips, cooling systems, grid connections and backup power infrastructure needed to support AI at…
The Suez Canal recorded a clear recovery signal in April 2026, as oil tanker traffic increased sharply amid the effective closure and disruption of the Strait of Hormuz. The improvement gave Egypt’s strategic waterway its strongest monthly revenue level since early 2024, but the data also show that the recovery remains partial and heavily concentrated…
Kuwait’s reported offer of crude cargoes to Asian refiners marks an important but still cautious signal for Gulf energy markets. Market reporting indicated that at least two very large crude carriers carrying Kuwaiti crude were being offered to buyers in Asia after moving through the Strait of Hormuz. The development matters because Kuwait is one…
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed modestly in April 2026, but the underlying data reveal a more important shift in the structure of trade. The improvement was not driven by weak domestic demand or a broad reduction in imports. Instead, exports increased faster than imports, supported mainly by a sharp rise in crude oil shipments, while…
