EIA expects a drop in global oil demand will limit price increases from Hormuz disruptions
The U.S. Energy Information Administration published its June Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), reducing its expectation for global oil demand in 2026. High fuel prices, reduced fuel availability, and government initiatives are curbing oil consumption this year, particularly in Asia, resulting in the world consuming 1 million fewer barrels of oil each day on average than it did last year. The reduced demand could limit crude oil price increases resulting from near-term disruptions in the flow of oil out of the Middle East through the Strait of Hormuz.

PRESS RELEASE | JUNE 5, 2026 FDIC Issues List of Banks Examined for CRA Compliance WASHINGTON—The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today issued its list of state nonmember banks recently evaluated for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). The list covers evaluation ratings that the FDIC assigned to institutions in March 2026. The CRA is a 1977 law that requires the FDIC to assess a bank’s record of meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including those of low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound operations. As part of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), Congress mandated the public disclosure of an evaluation and rating for each bank or thrift that undergoes a CRA examination on or after July 1, 1990. You may obtain a consolidated list of all state nonmember banks whose evaluations have been made publicly available since July 1, 1990, including the rating for each bank, or obtain a hard copy from FDIC's Public Information Center, 3501 Fairfax Drive, Room E-1002, Arlington, VA 22226 (877-275-3342 or 703-562-2200). A copy of an individual bank's CRA evaluation is available directly from the bank, which is required by law to make the material available upon request, or from the FDIC's Public Information Center.
