OPEC slashes 2024 oil demand growth forecast on softer China outlook

  • They also cut next year's demand growth estimate in their latest monthly report
OPEC
  • 2024 world oil demand growth forecast seen at 2.11 mil bpd (previously 2.25 mil bpd)
  • 2025 world oil demand growth forecast seen at 1.78 mil bpd (previously 1.85 mil bpd)

On the change, OPEC says that softening expectations for China's oil demand is the main reason for that. But the bloc maintains that despite a slow start to the summer driving season, fuel demand is expected to remain "solid due to healthy road and air mobility".
