Meanwhile, global oil supply is projected to fall by 5.8 million bpd on an annual basis before recovering and increasing by 7.7 million bpd in 2027.</p> <p ><br> The data showed that global diesel exports fell by 700,000 bpd year-on-year in September, while wholesale prices reached record highs of approximately $220 per barrel in Europe and the United States and more than $200 per barrel in Singapore.</p> <p ><br> Amid efforts to contain the fuel crisis, the IEA said the recent agreement between the United States and Russia is unlikely to have a material impact on global markets due to constraints on Russian refining capacity.</p> <p ><span ><span ><!--EndFragment--></span></span></p>
