JPMorgan says the global oil market has returned to surplus as Middle East supply disruptions ease, with excess supply reaching an estimated 1.4 million barrels per day in October.
Middle East oil exports recovered to about 20.7 million bpd from 9.8 million in March, while HSBC raised its Saudi Aramco production forecast for the fourth quarter of 2026 to 8.3 million bpd from 6.3 million.
