Global Oil Demand Surged in September

U.S. crude stocks rose 4.4 million barrels last week, marking the third straight build amid forecasts of a 2 million bpd global surplus by 2026, Goldman Sachs said.

  • In early Asian trading, oil prices eased as traders reacted to another rise in U.S. oil inventories and signals supply running ahead of demand, with WTI at $60.59 and Brent at $64.71.
  • U.S. commercial crude stocks rose by about 4.4 million barrels in the week to November 14, marking a third consecutive build while China stockpiles crude amid soft refinery demand.
  • Market analysts added that Goldman Sachs forecasts a 2 million bpd surplus by 2026 and sees Brent averaging $56 and WTI $52, with `benchmark prices range-bound with the market eyeing the sanctions' impact,' said Emril Jamil.
  • Official data due later on Wednesday show the EIA report could pressure prices into Thanksgiving if it reveals another sizeable build, while a surprise draw might only spark short-covering.
  • The International Energy Agency warned the 2026 oil surplus could worsen as analysts grow bearish amid delayed projects, OPEC+ easing cuts, rising non-OPEC supply and higher refinery margins globally.
