Oil Tanks to ~$59 as Glut Fears Mount – Experts Warn “Super Glut” Looming
Oil prices have dropped to five-month lows, with WTI crude near $58.70 and Brent around $62.70, after rising OPEC+ output and renewed U.S.–China trade tensions triggered a selloff. The IEA now projects a record 4 million barrels/day surplus in 2026. Bank of America warns Brent could fall below $50 if the trade war worsens. Investors have shifted to gold, which hit all-time highs above $4,200/oz.
