On one hand, producers are firmly in control, demand is robust, supply cuts are working, and the market can absorb a cautious return of barrels. On the other hand, demand is faltering, and an oil flood is looming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BACKGROUND- <\/strong>Opec+ rapidly unwound voluntary production cuts this year in a bid to regain market share from US shale producers.

Meanwhile, the IEA thinks demand in key emerging markets has consistently underperformed as trends like EV adoption are nibbling away at oil\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Both agree on one thing, though \u2014 a quiet winter. <\/strong>Global oil demand always cools in 1Q, and the wider Opec+ group hit the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\/news\/story\/7ea5f102-66fe-40fd-894b-5700740b27aa\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">pause button<\/a> for 1Q 2026, agreeing not to add any more barrels \u2014 an implicit nod to the seasonal slowdown and some looming economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The IEA, however, views that pause as a mere speed bump.<\/strong> Even with Opec+ holding back in 1Q, the agency expects the barrels to come flooding in later. The combined surge of non-Opec output plus Opec+\u2019s phased return of its earlier cuts will push the market into a surplus for the year as a whole, the IEA argues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Early warnings started to show up: <\/strong>Global observed oil inventories swelled by some <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/commentaries\/as-oil-market-surplus-keeps-rising-something-s-got-to-give\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">225 mn barrels<\/a> between January and August, reaching a four-year high \u2014 signaling that supply was outpacing demand during the period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Why this matters for traders<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Many are hedging their bets on both scenarios.<\/strong> We saw it in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/brent-oil-structure-physical-markets-reflect-fears-supply-glut-2025-10-20\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">pricing<\/a>: for most of this year, outright oil prices held relatively firm and even traded in backwardation (near-term prices higher than futures), signaling a tighter market than the IEA\u2019s forecast. The sentiment shifted by 4Q, as futures for next year traded above prompt prices \u2014 a sign traders were pricing in downside balance risks the IEA had been flagging.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART- Oil futures don\u2019t follow textbook supply-and-demand economics.<\/strong> Higher future prices don\u2019t signal stronger future consumption; they reflect comfortable supply conditions. When oil is plentiful, spot prices soften while futures rise to reflect storage and financing costs, pushing the curve into contango. Backwardation is the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.schwab.com\/learn\/story\/contango-and-backwardation-explained\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">opposite<\/a>: buyers pay up for oil now when supply is tight, or demand is strong, lifting near-term prices above later delivery. That\u2019s why the shift into contango late in the year wasn\u2019t a vote of confidence in demand \u2014 it was the market pricing of looser balances ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The stakes are high for the Kingdom<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Kingdom\u2019s oil strategy is a high-wire act<\/strong>: Oil still constitutes 60% of state revenue and over 65% of exports. Drops in average oil prices can significantly increase budget deficits, which have run for the past eight quarters.

It\u2019s a dangerous game, but one Saudi has played before (recall 2014-2016\u2019s price wars).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI- We sat down with EFG Hermes\u2019 Head of Research Ahmed Shams El Din earlier this <\/strong><strong>year<\/strong> to give us <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/ksa\/en\/news\/story\/185d8996-0d64-4850-91f5-f4e43a06cbbb\/l\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">his take<\/a> on what low oil prices could mean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> What signals to look for next?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We\u2019ll be watching out for oil futures curve. <\/strong>If contango persists or deepens going into 2026, it means the IEA\u2019s view is winning the day, and Opec+ may need to react more decisively. Meanwhile, a return to backwardation would indicate that barrels are tightening up. Keep an eye on time spreads as they are the heartbeat of how traders perceive the situation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The second signal is inventory levels. <\/strong>It\u2019s one thing for analysts to predict a glut \u2014 it\u2019s another to see crude stockpiles actually pile up to the rafters. If we continue to see outsized builds in US and OECD stock reports, or floating storage ticking up, the IEA\u2019s surplus story will gain ground. Meanwhile, if inventories start drawing down unexpectedly (say, a cold winter sparks demand or Opec+\u2019s pause wasn\u2019t enough and they cut more), it will be a sign the market is tighter than the doomsayers had thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cartel and the agency can\u2019t agree on demand as the gap between their oil consumption forecasts has widened to some 540k bbl \/ d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":103458,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4797],"tags":[10,4795,4696,87,159,514,4796],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-103457","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-year-in-review","tag-enterpriseam-ksa","tag-international-energy-agency-iea","tag-newslead","tag-oil-and-gas","tag-oil-watch","tag-opec-2","tag-year-in-review","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"cd804793-69f5-4436-ab78-d8492a910be4","order":"3","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/9\/207.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"Opec & IEA are at odds on 2026 oil market forecasts","related_issue":[103452],"teaser":"The cartel and the agency can\u2019t agree on demand as the gap between their oil consumption forecasts has widened to some 540k bbl \/ d"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
