2026-05-21 11:51
Odaily reported that on Thursday, Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, stated that the arrival of the summer fuel demand peak, combined with a lack of new oil exports from the Middle East and continuous inventory declines, could push the oil market into a "danger zone" between July and August. However, he did not provide further details. Birol noted in his speech that the world was in a state of oil surplus when the supply crisis triggered by the Iran war broke out, which helped mitigate the impact. However, inventories are now continuously declining. (Jin10)
