The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) released its July Oil Market Report Monday morning, and the cartel raised its forecast of 2015 global demand growth by 100,000 barrels a day to 1.28 million. Total consumption in 2015 is now pegged at 92.61 million barrels a day, up from the prior forecast of 92.5 million.

OPEC also has raised its forecast for 2016 global demand growth to 1.34 million barrels a day, with total demand expected to reach 93.94 million barrels a day.

The cartel reported as well that the average price of a barrel of oil from its reference basket fell by $1.95 a barrel in June, from $62.16 in May to $60.21. OPEC noted that money managers continued to cut net long positions in the futures market.

Total OPEC crude oil production in June averaged 31.38 million barrels a day, up 283,000 from May’s total. That is the highest monthly total so far in 2015 and well above the annual averages for 2013 and 2014. The total is based on non-OPEC estimates.

Total non-OPEC supply is forecast to average 57.69 million barrels a day in 2016, up 530,000 barrels a day compared with the cartel’s May forecast, while noting that the forecast is “associated with a high level of risk.” U.S. product is forecast to grow from an estimated total of 13.85 million barrels a day (including NGLs and other liquids) this year to an average of 14.18 million barrels a day in 2016.

Total world oil supplies are now forecast at about 92.77 million barrels a day in 2015, about 150,000 barrels a day more than total demand. From a producer’s point of view, that is a welcome improvement over the recent oversupply totals of more than 1 million barrels a day.

The news Monday regarding a potential deal between Greece and its lenders has not overcome the possibility in traders’ minds that a nuclear deal will be struck with Iran, leading to the possibility that Iranian production could rise by nearly 2 million barrels a day.
