OPEC again lowers 2026 global oil demand growth forecast

LONDON, June 11 (Reuters) - OPEC on Thursday lowered its forecast for world oil demand growth in 2026 to 970,000 barrels per day, a copy of its monthly report showed, marking the second straight downward revision.

The producer group continues to see a smaller impact on consumption since the Iran war started than other forecasters such as the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the International Energy Agency. Both expect demand to decline in 2026.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries also raised its forecast for 2027 oil demand growth, according to the report seen by Reuters.
