IEA Reports Diesel Supply Tightness and Global Oil Demand Decline Through 2027
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that global diesel supplies will remain tight into 2027 due to disruptions from the Iran war and attacks on Russian refineries, causing record-high diesel prices and economic impacts. Global oil demand is expected to decline by 2.6 million barrels per day in 2026, with diesel accounting for 25% of the drop. While oil supply may temporarily rise, refinery margins face pressure from higher crude costs, and a partial demand recovery is forecast for 2027, though levels will stay below 2025.
