Brent crude has drifted into the low-$60s, a price corridor OPEC+ has spent the better part of two years trying to defend through disciplined supply management. Yet the market’s center of gravity is shifting. Independent forecasts now point to a looming surplus of 2.1–4 million barrels per day in early 2026.
