OPEC și-a schimbat din nou în jos prognoza privind evoluția cererii de petrol în 2026 - Economica.net

OPEC has lowered its global oil demand growth forecast for 2026 by 380,000 bpd, marking the fifth consecutive downgrade due to the Middle East conflict. The organization expects a smaller impact on consumption compared to other institutions. However, it has raised its 2027 demand estimate to 2.4 million bpd. OPEC+ plans to increase production, but the closure of the Strait of Hormuz hampers these efforts. Analysts note that the ongoing war in Iran has affected OPEC's market share and its ability to influence prices, with recent production increases having minimal market impact.
