Gas Prices Hit Three-Year Low, Falling Below $3

Gasoline prices in the U.S. have dropped to their lowest point in over three years, with the national average falling to $2.97 per gallon, according to GasBuddy. This decline comes as Americans prepare for holiday travel, with 32 states already seeing averages below $3. The drop is attributed to decreased gasoline demand and increased inventories, alongside OPEC's decision to delay oil output increases. The trend is expected to continue, potentially lowering prices further by Christmas.

"U.S. Oil Production Forecast: Zero Growth Until 2025"

The EIA predicts zero growth in US crude oil production for 2024, with a drop in production expected for the remainder of the year. The cold snap in January caused a temporary decline in production, and the EIA forecasts a return to near-record levels in February. This lack of production growth could support crude oil prices and help OPEC tighten the market, with a global oil supply deficit of 120,000 bpd expected for this year.

"IEA's Upward Revision: Oil Demand Forecast for 2024 Surpasses OPEC's View"

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has raised its 2024 global oil demand growth forecast by 180,000 barrels per day (bpd), but it remains lower than OPEC's projection, with world supply growth expected to exceed demand growth. The IEA sees a potential supply surplus in the second quarter if OPEC and its allies unwind output cuts as scheduled, and attributes the demand growth revision to improving global economic growth, lower crude prices, and China's expanding petrochemicals sector. The agency expects world oil supply to rise to a new high of 103.5 million bpd in 2024, fueled by record-setting output from the United States, Brazil, Guyana, and Canada, while rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have raised concerns about potential disruptions to oil flows.
