Bloomberg.com · last updated

OPEC cut forecasts for global oil demand growth this year and next as President Donald Trump’s tariff onslaught takes a toll on consumption.

The cartel lowered demand growth projections for 2025 and 2026 by about 100,000 barrels a day, projecting an expansion of 1.3 million barrels a day — or approximately 1% — for each year, according to a report from its secretariat in Vienna.
