Middle East conflict raises 2026 oil deficit outlook
There has been an increase in the global oil deficit forecast for 2026 due to escalation of the war in the Middle East, especially after some regional supplies were disrupted by Iranian attacks and the American and Israeli responses, with oil prices continuing to rise significantly. However, a recovery in oil flows from the Gulf region and strong U.S. production are expected to lead to a market surplus in 2027, indicating an improved supply. Still, demand from China may decline due to the shift toward clean energy. The main challenges concern the speed of oil flow restoration through the Strait of Hormuz and the impact of military escalation on global supplies.
