Fundamentals have shifted materially. The International Energy Agency reported that global refinery runs were set to hit a seasonal low of 81.3 million barrels per day in October before rebounding to 84.6 mb/d by year-end, with throughputs forecast to decline by 2.5 mb/d on average in 2026 and rebound by 3.5 mb/d in 2027. Crude exports from Gulf producers led by Saudi Arabia surged by 4.4 mb/d to 13.9 mb/d in September, reaching more than 75% of pre-war levels as supply recovered. J.P. Morgan cut its end-2026 price forecast to $78 per barrel from a prior $95, noting crude traded at or above $100/bbl for most of the second quarter following the U.S.–Israel military operation against Iran that began in late February before falling under $70/bbl in mid-June.

The supply recovery and lower price forecasts weigh on the case for crude oil to reach a new all-time high by March 31, 2027, though product market tightness remains a countervailing factor. The IEA noted that tighter light and middle distillate markets boosted cracks and margins in the Atlantic Basin to record highs, while record freight and crude costs crushed margins in Europe and Asia and discounted feedstocks propelled U.S. margins to new highs. In the UK, diesel prices breached £2 per litre in early March 2026, underscoring persistent refined-product pressure. Market participants will next watch year-end refinery run recovery and 2027 throughput forecasts for signals on whether crude benchmarks can challenge prior peaks. [IEA, Oct 25]
