World oil supply rose by 590 kb/d to 103.6 mb/d in March, up 910 kb/d y-o-y, with non-OPEC+ leading both monthly and annual gains. OPEC+ will lift output targets by 411 kb/d in May, but the increase may be substantially lower given overproduction by some countries. Global supply growth for 2025 has been cut by 260 kb/d to 1.2 mb/d, due to a decrease in US and Venezuelan output. Production in 2026 is set to rise by 960 kb/d, with offshore projects taking the lead. Global crude runs are forecast to average 83.2 mb/d this year, as demand growth expectations cut the projected annual increase by 230 kb/d to 340 kb/d. In 2026, throughputs are set to rise by 360 kb/d to 83.6 mb/d. Refining margins were mixed in March, with declines in the Atlantic Basin but gains for processing sour crude in Singapore. Weaker middle distillate cracks drove much of last month's decline in profitability. Source: International Energy Agency (IEA) |

Why gold retains enduring value in an era of digital assets
December 17, 2025--For more than five millennia, humanity has been captivated by gold-the immutable metal that has illuminated temples, crowned emperors, and underpinned monetary systems.

Across the centuries, gold has functioned as currency, ornament, reserve, and metaphor-embodying the human desire for permanence in a world of change.
