June 18, 2026 (MLN): Oil prices steadied Thursday after US President Donald Trump signed a peace deal with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to end the Middle East conflict, even as the International Energy Agency warned of a significant supply glut on the horizon.

Currently, Brent crude futures is slightly up by $0.14, or 0.18%, to $79.1 per barrel, according to data by Mettis Global.


West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures is down by $0.68, or 0.89%, to $75.37 per barrel by [09:46 am] PST.


The IEA said a lasting resolution to the conflict would bring significantly higher supply volumes to market, projecting a major oil overhang in 2027.

In its latest monthly oil market report, the agency forecast global supply to average 102.4 million barrels per day in 2026 down 3.9 mbd from prior levels before surging to 110.3 mbd next year, CNBC  reported.
