IEA cuts 2026 oil demand outlook as diesel crisis, Mideast war disrupt markets

Wed, 14 Oct 2026 06:25:51 -0400

Investing.com -- The International Energy Agency (IEA) cut its forecast for global oil demand this year, saying the fallout from the war in the Middle East, including restricted fuel supplies, soaring prices and a weakening economic outlook, is driving the sharpest contraction in years.

World oil demand is expected to fall 2.5 million barrels a day year-over-year in the fourth quarter, with the agency now projecting a 2026 annual decline of 2.6 million barrels a day, steeper than the 2.5 million-barrel-a-day drop forecast last month, citing the Iran war’s disruption and soaring prices. Diesel alone will account for a quarter of

Headline and core U.S. inflation gap seen widening in September - Truflation

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 10:43:15 -0400

Investing.com - Headline U.S. consumer price growth is tipped to have risen to 3.6% in September, widening a gap with the underlying inflation figure, according to estimates from alternative data provider Truflation.

So-called “core” consumer prices, which strip out volatile items like food and fuel, are seen coming in at 2.4%, Truflation predicted.

While the difference between the anticipated overall and core readings could suggest the outsized impact of surging energy expenses, “tariffs, freight and high input costs raise the risk of additional consumer goods pass-through towards year end,” Truflation flagged.

Investors are gearing up for the release on Wednesday of the official U.S.

Saudi Aramco reportedly restores full crude oil supply to Europe for November

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 15:45:59 -0400

Investing.com -- Saudi Aramco has reportedly informed European oil refiners that it will supply them with all the crude oil they requested for November after the kingdom's main cross-country pipeline returned to operation following attacks.

At least three European refiners confirmed they will receive full allocations of crude oil from Saudi Arabia's state oil company next month, Bloomberg news reporting citing people familiar with the matter.

The return of supplies will help address a tight market in Europe after the disruption forced refiners to search for alternative sources. Last month, Aramco notified European refiners that they would receive no crude in October

ECB officials keen to refrain from offering policy guidance, minutes show

Thu, 08 Oct 2026 08:20:46 -0400

Investing.com - European Central Bank policymakers saw ongoing risks to inflation when they voted to raise interest rates by 25 basis points last month, but were not keen to provide insight into the path ahead for borrowing costs, minutes from the meeting showed on Thursday.

In September, the ECB lifted its key deposit facility to 2.5%, stressing that the conflict in the Middle East is generating upward pressure on price growth and likely keep inflation well above its target level for an extended period of time. The ECB said the hike was necessary to underscore its commitment to corralling inflation.

Fed’s Daly says future hikes depend on how the economy handles shocks

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 13:07:21 -0400

Investing.com -- San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly said Tuesday she supported the September interest-rate increase as inflation risks have risen, but noted future rate decisions will depend on whether current economic shocks prove temporary or persistent.

Daly told Axios that the need for additional rate increases hinges on how tariffs, oil prices related to the Middle East conflict, and artificial intelligence effects unfold. She said if these shocks prove conventional with temporary effects, additional rate hikes may not be necessary.

"If the shocks that we've experienced — tariffs, oil prices from the Middle East conflict, and then AI — if

Investing.com - Saudi-led coalition forces in Yemen have retaken several key areas near the critical Bab el-Mandeb Strait following clashes with Iran-backed Houthi militants, media reports said, citing Yemeni officials.

The forces reportedly pushed the Houthis out of areas the group seized during a lightning offensive last month, reassuming control over the outskirts of the city of Mocha on Monday, the government claimed. Naval forces also conducted a military operation in Yemen's Red Sea governorate of Hodeidah, taking an airstrip in the Dhubab district close to the mouth of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Reuters reported.

Shell CEO says Middle East oil flows reach 80% of prewar levels

Tue, 06 Oct 2026 07:30:01 -0400

Investing.com -- Middle East oil flows have recovered to about 80% of volumes seen before the conflict began, Shell Plc Chief Executive Officer Wael Sawan said Tuesday.

Speaking at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, Sawan said the current flow levels demonstrate the ability of nations in the region to maintain their supply commitments to global markets despite ongoing tensions.

Major banks and shipping analytics firms have also indicated that flows are nearing pre-conflict levels, though precise figures remain difficult to determine. Vessels frequently switch off their satellite signals when passing through the Strait of Hormuz and parts of the Red Sea,
