Oil Demand This Year and Next Will Be Higher Than Previously Thought

Global demand for oil will be higher than projected for both this year and next, according to the latest from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Significantly, global oil supply in November reached 92.3 mb/d. It’s not clear if oil supply for this year as a whole will total at a similar level.  And even if it did total that level in 2014, it would still be slightly outstripped by the IEA’s projected demand.  That would mean tighter oil supplies and thus higher prices.
