Oil prices rose Tuesday as traders digested the latest monthly IEA report while ongoing tensions in the Middle East provided support.
At 06:15 ET (10:15 GMT), Brent oil futures for August rose 1.7% to $74.48 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained 1.7% to $71.44 a barrel.
Both contracts have seen volatile trading Tuesday, rising more than 2% earlier in the trading session but also notching declines.
Global oil demand will keep growing until around the end of this decade despite peaking in top importer China in 2027, as cheaper gasoline and slower electric vehicle adoption in the United States support consumption, the International Energy Agency said on Tuesday.
Oil demand will peak at 105.6 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2029 and then fall slightly in 2030, a table in the Paris-based IEA's annual report shows. At the same time, global production capacity is forecast to rise by more than 5 million bpd to 114.7 million bpd by 2030.
"Based on the fundamentals, oil markets look set to be well-supplied in the years ahead," said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol in a statement. "But recent events sharply highlight the significant geopolitical risks to oil supply security," Birol said.
