World oil supply will rise more rapidly than expected this year and next as OPEC+ members further increase output and supply from outside the group grows, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday.
Supply will rise by 2.5 million barrels per day in 2025, up from 2.1 million bpd previously forecast, said the IEA, which advises industrialized countries, in a monthly report, and by a further 1.9 million bpd next year.
OPEC+ is adding more crude to the market after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia and other allies decided to unwind its most recent layer of output cuts more rapidly than earlier scheduled. The extra supply, along with concern about the economic impact of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, has weighed on oil this year.
