IEA Warns of Looming Oil Glut in 2027 If Iran War Ends
TL;DR
IEA cuts its 2026 oil-demand outlook as high prices weigh on consumption, and warns that a post-war supply rebound could create a sizable oil overhang in 2027: supply around 110 mb/d versus demand near 105.3 mb/d, with inventories stressed and prices easing. A potential U.S.–Iran deal and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz could gradually restore flows, but full normalization may take months.
