Group 1 - The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a record oversupply in the global oil market next year due to slowing demand growth and surging supply, which will exert continuous pressure on oil prices and pose significant challenges for oil-producing countries [1] - Global oil inventories reached a 46-month high in June, driven by increased production from OPEC+ and rising output from the Americas [1][5] - The IEA warns that the market needs to make adjustments to restore balance, as demand growth has slowed to less than half of 2023 levels for the next two years [1][4] Group 2 - Global oil consumption is expected to grow by only 680,000 barrels per day this year, marking the weakest increase since 2019, with disappointing demand from countries like India and Brazil [4] - The IEA has raised its forecast for non-OPEC+ supply growth by 100,000 barrels per day to 1 million barrels per day by 2026, primarily driven by countries in the Americas [5] - OPEC+ is facing pressure to regain market share, with Saudi Arabia pushing for a return to previously suspended production levels, although future actions remain uncertain [5][6]

Core Viewpoint - The global oil market is expected to face oversupply and rising inventories until 2026, with only modest demand growth, exacerbated by the U.S. government's preference for low oil prices, leading to downward pressure on oil prices [3][4]. Group 1: Supply and Demand Dynamics - Structural oversupply in the oil market is projected to persist until 2026, with OPEC+ gradually exiting previous production cuts and non-OPEC+ countries maintaining stable output [4]. - The average daily oversupply in the market is expected to exceed 1 million barrels by Q4 2025, with global inventories continuing to rise unless OPEC adjusts its strategy [4][10]. - Geopolitical risks, such as supply disruptions from Libya or Iran, will have limited impact due to ample inventories and idle capacity providing a buffer [4]. Group 2: U.S. Energy Policy Impact - The U.S. government's energy policy prioritizes lowering consumer costs over upstream industry profits, reinforcing bearish sentiment in the oil market [6]. - The U.S. has urged OPEC+ to increase production and has shown reluctance to intervene in the oil market unless a price collapse is imminent [6]. - The slow action of the Trump administration in replenishing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve reflects a lack of urgency regarding oil price issues [6].

Group 4: Inventory Projections - Global oil and refined product inventories are expected to continue rising, indicating oversupply from Q4 2025 to 2026 [10]. - Following a reduction in inventories during 2021-2022, the anticipated supply growth will outpace demand, leading to increased inventories [10]. - OECD commercial inventories are currently near the five-year average but are expected to rise further, reflecting ample supply and weak consumption [10].

Core Viewpoint - The recent decision by OPEC and its partners to increase oil production has raised widespread questions about the sustainability of their policy shift from production cuts to increasing supply to capture market share [1][3]. Group 1: Background of Production Increase and Market Reaction - Eight major oil-producing countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, and the UAE, reached a consensus to increase production by an average of 547,000 barrels per day starting in September [1][3]. - The decision was based on relatively stable market fundamentals, with global oil inventories remaining low, and countries will adjust production flexibly according to market changes [3]. - The countries had previously implemented a voluntary production cut of 2.2 million barrels per day starting in November 2023, which was extended until March 2025 [3]. - International oil prices reacted sharply to the news, with Brent crude futures falling below $70 per barrel, reflecting market concerns about oversupply risks [3]. Group 2: Challenges to Policy Sustainability - The financial situation of oil-producing countries is a key constraint on the sustainability of the production increase policy, with Brent crude prices predicted to drop further to around $60 per barrel, below the breakeven point for major producers like Saudi Arabia [4]. - Weak global oil demand growth exacerbates the uncertainty of policy execution, with the IEA predicting a potential oversupply of 2 million barrels per day in the fourth quarter due to weak demand and increasing North American supply [4]. - OPEC officials indicated that future production plans would depend on market conditions, with suggestions to pause further increases if prices drop significantly [4]. - OPEC's next meeting is scheduled for September 7, where market conditions will be reassessed to inform policy adjustments [4]. - By the end of 2026, oil-producing countries retain two additional voluntary production cut measures, providing them with policy flexibility but also highlighting the inherent instability of the current increase policy [4].

Group 1 - OPEC+ is considering a significant increase in oil production quotas to restart idle capacity, but this has not yet translated into a substantial rise in actual production [1] - Despite an increase of approximately 1 million barrels per day in production quotas from March to June, the actual production increase remains negligible, particularly from Saudi Arabia [1] - The recent easing of supply restrictions by eight major OPEC+ members has shaken the global oil market, potentially increasing oil supply amid threats to oil demand from trade tensions [1] Group 2 - Morgan Stanley anticipates that OPEC+ will continue to increase quotas, predicting an additional supply increase of about 420,000 barrels per day from June to September, with half of this increase expected from Saudi Arabia [1] - The firm maintains a forecast of oversupply in the oil market, as non-OPEC+ countries are expected to increase crude oil supply by approximately 1.1 million barrels per day, surpassing the global demand growth of about 800,000 barrels per day [1] - Current Brent crude oil prices hover around $66 per barrel, reflecting an 11% decline since 2025, with Morgan Stanley predicting a price of $57.50 per barrel for the second half of the year [2]
