IL CUSCINETTONON È PIÙQUELLO CHE ERA // v3.2

La capacità inutilizzata dell'OPEC+ è scesa a 3,8 mb/g — il valore più basso da febbraio 2022. L'Arabia Saudita detiene il 63 % del margine residuo. L'indicatore è sceso sotto il decile inferiore e, al di fuori del rapporto mensile dell'AIE, nessuno lo monitora pubblicamente.

I margini di produzione dell'alleanza OPEC+ si sono erosi costantemente nel primo trimestre del 2026. Secondo il rapporto mensile dell'AIE sul mercato petrolifero di maggio, restano 3,8 mb/g di capacità inutilizzata nel sistema — il valore più basso da febbraio 2022 e circa 0,3 mb/g sotto la media quinquennale.

La concentrazione conta quanto il totale. La sola Arabia Saudita rappresenta 2,4 mb/g del cuscinetto, mentre gli Emirati Arabi Uniti contribuiscono con altri 0,9 mb/g. Un incidente di approvvigionamento coordinato — simulato nello scenario HORMUZ-2026 — potrebbe assorbire metà del cuscinetto mondiale in sette giorni.

Lo stoccaggio di gas europeo prosegue il riempimento al 78,3 %, ben al di sopra della media quinquennale. L'indice FAO dei prezzi alimentari è salito leggermente a 121,4 punti. Due scenari restano in stato di sorveglianza elevata.

Un cuscinetto che non è più quello di prima

Capacità inutilizzata dell'OPEC+, media mensile, rispetto alla media mobile quinquennale. La linea blu è l'indicatore da osservare — ed è scesa sotto il decile inferiore.

0.01.22.43.54.7mb/dfive-year mean · 2.47 mb/d0.02 mb/d20232024202520262026-08

Note — Spare capacity is surplus crude production that can be brought online within 30 days and sustained for 90. The dashed line is the five-year mean. Last reading: 0.02 mb/d, −2.45 mb/d versus the five-year mean.
