The global oil market appears to be struggling to get a handle on its basic supply and demand balance. The International Energy Agency expects oil production to exceed demand by 3.7 million barrels per day this year, more than 3% of global consumption. Yet prices tell a different story. Brent crude remain firm at above $65 a barrel. In the past few weeks, uncertainty about the risk of U.S. military strikes against Iran, with the possibility of the conflict spilling over across the region, has helped push up oil prices towards $70 a barrel. With a market increasingly driven by geopolitics and behaviour of opaque stockpilers, oil prices are likely to remain out of sync with measured supply

Cuba has warned international airlines that it will run out of aviation fuel starting Monday (Feb. 9), widening an energy emergency that has already disrupted transport, public services and economic activity. The Spanish EFE News Agency reported that airlines most likely to be affected include U.S., Spanish, Panamanian and Mexican carriers. The jet-fuel warning follows other emergency steps in the tourism sector. Authorities have moved to close some hotels and relocate tourists. The fuel crunch is unfolding amid heightened U.S. pressure on Cuba’s energy lifelines. A Reuters report described Cuba’s rollout of a contingency plan featuring fuel rationing, expanded remote work and reductions in services, while Havana blames the deterioration on external restrictions affecting oil and refined-product supplies. Cuban officials have repeatedly framed the shortages — including diesel and other fuels — as the consequence of a tightening U.S. “siege.”

Ipiranga fuel distribution company is accelerating its data-driven strategy with Atena, a proprietary predictive intelligence framework that forecasts fuel demand across Brazil and supports core business decisions. Created internally by the company’s Data Science team, the system has already delivered substantial impact: in 2024, forecast accuracy improvements represented an average of R$ 94.8 million (US$ 18 million) per month in volume. Atena analyzes seasonal trends, consumption behavior, and macroeconomic and agricultural variables to generate reliable projections used across several management processes, from Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) to strategic and budget planning. The technology’s ability to capture market nuances, such as the effect of holidays or tax changes on fuel demand, allows Ipiranga to anticipate shifts and operate with greater precision. Today, more than 380 active models support decisions across the company under a unified future outlook.
