IEA reports tightening oil-supply margins as demand growth weakens in Q4

IEA reports tightening oil-supply margins as demand growth weakens in Q4
The international oil-market arm of the International Energy Agency (IEA) in its November 2025 report noted that while global supply remains tight, demand growth has decelerated materially, especially in China and Europe. Published 13 November, the report highlights that softer refining runs and slower transport volumes are reducing inventory draws and increasing the risk of margin compression. 
For energy-sector investors this signals a transition from an acute shortage paradigm to one influenced by structural demand shifts, rising renewables, and slower mobility growth.
