Oil prices rallied Tuesday, as the U.S. Energy Information Administration delivered a bullish view on global oil demand in its latest Short Term Energy Outlook, released on Tuesday. But it also expects supply to increase as it sees U.S. oil production averaging a record-high 12.4 million barrels per day in 2023.
Europe’s Brent crude benchmark rose 3.4% on Tuesday to $83.64 per barrel. U.S. crude jumped 43.9% to $81.29. Natural gas futures gained 3.5%.
“We expect global demand for petroleum products to return to and surpass pre-pandemic levels this year, but crude oil production grows at a faster rate in our forecasts,” said EIA Acting Administrator Steve Nalley. “We expect that as crude oil production increases, inventories will begin to replenish and help push prices lower for gasoline, jet fuel, and other products in the short term.”
The EIA, the information arm of the U.S. Energy Department, will report weekly U.S. stockpile and production data Wednesday morning.
