Oil steady around $100 amid rising Middle East exports

Oil prices remained near $100 per barrel, despite the market balancing between increased exports from the Middle East, the G7’s plan to release emergency inventories, and the risks stemming from regional tensions. Brent crude saw a slight increase of 0.3%, reaching $100.58, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate rose by one cent to $89.44. Reports indicate that approximately 12 million barrels per day of crude and 2 million barrels of petroleum products have left the Middle East in recent days, easing pressure on prices. However, regional tensions continue to support higher prices, with the East-West pipeline activity reaching 5.8 million barrels per day. Additionally, the G7 has agreed to release 100 million barrels from emergency reserves. The U.S. Energy Information Administration forecasts global oil production to decline to 101.1 million barrels per day in 2026 before rising to a record high of 109.6 million barrels in 2027, with U.S. oil inventories expected to increase by 1.7 million barrels during the last week of September.
