He also noted that while the OPEC report showed that global oil markets face a supply deficit of 3.3 mbpd in the next quarter, potentially the largest in more than a decade, the International Energy Agency (IEA) projected that demand will outpace supply by an average of 1.2 million barrels per day (mpbd) in the second half of the year.
