US faces steeper crude oil production decline than previously anticipated: S&P Global Commodity Insights
New Delhi [India], June 11 (ANI): The US is facing a deceleration of crude oil production growth in 2025 than previously anticipated, according to a new analysis by S&P Global Commodity Insights.
The global commodities information services provider projects a sharper year-on-year overall production decline in 2026 in the US than previously anticipated.
The latest S&P Global Commodity Insights Global Crude Oil Markets Short-term Outlook finds that the US, which has been the biggest source of global supply growth in recent years, will be 'disproportionately impacted' by a combination of sluggish global oil demand growth and supply surplus.
Following the most recent decision by OPEC+ members to proceed with the accelerated unwinding of production cuts, along with supply growth elsewhere, year-on-year global crude oil (and condensate) production growth is expected to be 2.2 million barrels per day for the second half of 2025, compared to just 390,000 barrels per day of expected crude oil demand growth.
S&P Global Commodity Insights said that annual global total oil (liquids) demand growth for 2025 is expected to be the weakest since 2001, excluding the economic downturn during the 2008-09 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, averaging 770,000 barrels per day.
The S&P report has revised down the crude oil price outlook, with Dated Brent ranging from the mid-USD 60s per barrel to USD 50 per barrel or below for a time (low USD 60-upper USD 40s for WTI).
Jim Burkhard, Vice President and Global Head of Crude Oil Research, S&P Global Commodity Insights, states, 'The oil price is currently defenseless. Seasonal demand in the northern hemisphere summer may obscure the impact for a bit, but eventually there will be too much crude oil in the market absent a change in production trends.'
The report asserted that the US is expected to bear the brunt of the impacts from an oversupplied market compared to other sources of non-OPEC supply, such as Canada, Guyana, and Brazil.
'The United States has been the biggest source of supply growth in recent years and a factor in OPEC+ supply restraint. Signs of weak U.S. crude supply growth and decline could begin to alter oil market psychology. However, much will still depend on the future course of OPEC+ production and oil demand,' said Ian Stewart, Associate Director, S&P Global Commodity Insights. (ANI)

Marelli Approved to Borrow $519 Million at Start of Bankruptcy
(Bloomberg) -- Bankrupt auto-parts supplier Marelli Holdings Co. won court approval to borrow $518.9 million to help fund its reorganization after delaying a request for some parts of a financing package questioned by a federal bankruptcy watchdog. The loan, which is being provided by Deutsche Bank and other senior Marelli lenders, will need to be approved in two stages, which is typical in large corporate bankruptcy cases. The company will return to court in the coming weeks to seek final approval from US Bankruptcy Judge Craig Goldblatt for the full, $1.1 billion financing package. Marelli delayed seeking approval of some aspects of the financing package in order to resolve concerns from the US Trustee, which oversees bankruptcy cases on behalf of the US Justice Department. When the company returns to court, it will renew its request to refinance some of its older debt. The financing package is 'complex,' company lawyer Spencer A. Winters told Goldblatt during a court hearing in Wilmington, Delaware. The proposal for it includes two loan tranches and four different payback priorities, he said. The company filed bankruptcy Wednesday after being caught up in industry upheaval as electrification and automation forced global carmakers to shift their strategy to cope with declining sales in key markets. The company blamed tariffs and lingering supply-chain problems that began during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to court papers. About 80% of the company's lenders have signed an agreement to support the restructuring, which is designed to shed debt, Marelli said in a statement. The loan approved Wednesday will help the company continue operating normally during the insolvency case. Lenders involved in the restructuring include Fortress Credit Advisors, owed more than $270 million and funds managed by Strategic Value Partners owed more than $1.3 billion, according to court records.

India's Auto Sector At Risk As China's Rare Earth Magnet Curbs Tighten: ICRA
New Delhi: Rare-earth magnet inventories are likely to 'taper off' by mid-July 2025 for the automobile industry, weighed down by the export restrictions from China and ensuing shipment delays, according to a release by rating agency ICRA. "With China tightening export controls and delaying shipment clearances, rare earth magnet inventories are projected to last only until mid-July 2025 for several, if not all, passenger vehicle and two-wheeler applications," Jitin Makkar, Senior Vice President and Group Head - Corporate Ratings, ICRA Limited. The Industry is looking for contingency options and alternative supply chains, but it is riddled with difficulties. "While the automobile industry is exploring a range of contingency options, each of these appears ridden with logistical, regulatory, and engineering complexities, exacerbating the prevailing uncertainty," the rating agency said. "India imported around USD 200 million worth of these magnets for both automotive and non-automotive applications, with approximately 85% of this sourced from China. While the trade value may appear modest, the strategic dependence it reflects is anything but the supply uncertainty has cast a shadow on production planning. The dependence on China for these specialised materials could upend the automobile sector, particularly the fast-growing electric vehicle segment, if the concern remains unresolved." Makkar added. In order to deal with this risk, India is exploring various options such as importing fully assembled motors from China, or shipping the rotors, on which the rare earth magnets are mounted, to China for magnet assembly and then re-importing the assembled rotors. Additionally, substituting rare earth magnets with alternatively engineered materials or introducing rare earth magnet-free motors could also be seen as alternative options. However, a Maruti Suzuki spokesperson on Thursday said, "Regarding the situation on rare earth, as of now, there is no disruption in our operation due to this issue. There is a lot of uncertainty and the situation is continuously evolving." Maruti Suzuki added, "We are monitoring the situation and pursuing multiple solutions to ensure continuity in our operations. If and when there is any material impact to our business, we will inform all stakeholders in line with regulatory requirements."
