# Global oil market shifts to surplus as prices fall

*JPMorgan estimates supply exceeded demand by 1.4 million barrels a day in October, driven by Middle Eastern exports and Latin American output.*

**The short version**

- Global oil markets have shifted to a supply surplus, with supply exceeding demand by 1.4 million barrels a day in October, according to JPMorgan.
- Middle Eastern exports are returning to pre-war levels, and Saudi output is forecast to increase in the fourth quarter.
- Soaring production in Latin America has also contributed to the global glut.
- Crude oil prices have fallen 20% from their peak this year, though recent security concerns in the Strait of Hormuz have caused temporary price increases.

Global oil markets have moved into a state of surplus, with supply exceeding demand by an estimated 1.4 million barrels per day in October, according to JPMorgan. This shift follows months of disruption caused by conflict in the Middle East. Middle Eastern exports are reportedly returning to pre-war levels, and Saudi Arabian output is forecast to rise in the fourth quarter.

Increased production in Latin America has also contributed to the global oversupply. The surplus, combined with the outcomes of the US midterm elections, has led to a 20% decrease in crude oil prices from their highest point this year. However, recent maritime security concerns and attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have caused temporary increases in crude futures.

## Disagreement on price movements

While some reports indicate a general fall in oil prices, others highlight recent price increases. JPMorgan noted that crude prices have fallen 20% from this year's peak (Semafor). Conversely, vz.ru reported that Brent crude oil prices exceeded $100 per barrel due to possible security threats in the Middle East. Mehr News Agency also stated that oil prices rose for the second consecutive day, with Brent crude approaching the $100 per barrel mark. The Hindu Business Line reported that fresh maritime security concerns lifted crude futures.

## What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated digests mention the specific figure of 1.5 million barrels a day for Latin America's increased output, a detail present in Semafor's full report. The right-rated digests do not mention the 20% price drop from this year's peak, a figure reported by Semafor and Oil Price.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 23 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

- Left: 4% (1)
- Centre: 40% (9)

56 of 79 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-11-06T10:00:32.805904+00:00.

**Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 4 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-11-06T10:45:13.022Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- The left-rated report from Semafor led with the shift to a global oil market surplus, citing JPMorgan's estimate of supply exceeding demand by 1.4 million barrels a day in October. It highlighted the return of Middle Eastern exports to pre-war levels and a forecast jump in Saudi output for the fourth quarter. The report also mentioned soaring output in Latin America contributing to the glut and noted that the surplus, along with US midterm results, pushed prices down 20% from their peak, with a Bloomberg columnist quoted on the potential for cheaper gasoline.

### Centre

- Centre-rated reports focused on the return of the global oil glut, with several citing analysts from Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. Oil Price stated that demand destruction from high prices was causing fears of a deficit to fade and concerns of a glut to rise. Bloomberg reported on Citi's Head of US Equity Strategy Scott Chronert being surprised by the sudden drop in oil prices, noting that Brent fell almost 9% before rebounding. Reuters and WTVB both carried JPMorgan's assessment that rising exports and weak demand were pushing the market into surplus. The Globe & Mail's report mentioned Brent crude jumping and settling up over $3 after tanker attacks, linking it to ongoing midterm fallout.

### Right

- Right-rated reports predominantly focused on the recent rise in oil prices, with many highlighting Brent crude approaching or exceeding $100 per barrel. vz.ru reported Brent exceeding $100 due to possible security threats in the Middle East. Mehr News Agency and The Hindu Business Line noted price increases, with the latter specifically mentioning fresh tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz lifting crude futures. Times of India reported oil prices bouncing back towards $100 after a significant decline, attributing it to geopolitical tensions and Middle East conflicts disrupting refinery operations. Business Times also reported Brent crude jumping over $3 after tanker attacks. Yonhap News Agency noted an international oil price rebound after a significant plunge. Protothema highlighted a rally from an 8% plunge due to fears of escalation in the Middle East. Interfax.ru stated Brent's price was over $97 a barrel, and Sapo reported Brent's quotation for January delivery falling by 7.63% to $104.77.

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.

## Questions

**What is the current state of the global oil market?**

The global oil market has shifted to a supply surplus, meaning that more oil is being produced than consumed. JPMorgan estimated that supply exceeded demand by 1.4 million barrels a day in October, driven by increased exports from the Middle East and higher production in Latin America.

**How have oil prices been affected?**

Crude oil prices have fallen by 20% from their peak this year. However, recent security concerns and attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have caused temporary price increases, with Brent crude approaching or exceeding $100 per barrel on several occasions.

**What factors are contributing to the oil market surplus?**

The surplus is attributed to recovering exports from the Middle East returning to pre-war levels and soaring output from Latin America. Additionally, high oil prices have led to demand destruction, further contributing to the oversupply.
