OPEC înrăutăţeşte din nou estimările ce privesc creşterea cererii globale de petrol în 2026

OPEC has lowered its global oil demand growth forecast for 2026 by 600,000 bpd due to the economic impact of the Middle East conflict. This marks the fourth consecutive downgrade. The organization expects a smaller impact on consumption compared to other institutions like the IEA, which predicts a decline in demand. However, OPEC has raised its 2027 demand estimate to 2.2 million bpd, up from 1.9 million bpd. OPEC+ plans to resume production increases in April, but the closure of the Strait of Hormuz complicates this.
