The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its latest monthly report predicting that by 2030, the global oil market will face a severe oversupply situation due to slowing demand growth and increased supply, with idle production capacity reaching levels similar to the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Oil prices rose with Texas crude futures climbing 1.3% to $78.92 a barrel and Brent crude up 1.2% to $82.87 amid peak summer oil demand and OPEC+ production cuts tightening supplies for the third quarter. IEA estimates that as clean energy technologies accelerate, the growth rate of oil demand will slow in the coming years, reaching 105.4 million barrels per day in 2030, while daily oil supply, driven by the US and American producers, will increase to nearly 113.8 million barrels, resulting in an oversupply of around 8 million barrels per day by 2030.

US consumer prices in May remained flat with no growth in the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) due to a decline in gas prices, bringing the annual rate down to a three-month low of 3.3%. The core CPI also slowed to 3.4%, marking the lowest increase since April 2021. The cooling inflation for the second consecutive month has reignited market expectations of a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this year. The decrease in energy prices led to the cooling inflation in May, with oil prices dropping by 3.6% and food prices rising slightly by 0.1%. Housing costs increased by 0.4% monthly and 5.4% annually. Although the inflation rate is still above the Fed's target at 2%, the recent trend has provided confidence in addressing inflation concerns.
