Oil prices are marginally higher to start the trading day. Elevated borrowing costs may be dampening broader economic activity, potentially affecting oil demand. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency (IEA) projected that the oil market could return to a surplus early next year, despite Saudi Arabia’s extended production cuts. The IEA mentioned that recent declines in oil stockpiles due to Saudi Arabia’s production reductions might reverse due to slow economic growth. However, the IEA cautioned that market balances could remain vulnerable to economic and geopolitical risks as demand continues to exceed available supplies heading into the winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
