Crude oil prices have fallen to nearly three-year lows as OPEC revised its demand predictions downward, mostly due to lower Chinese consumption. In its monthly report released yesterday, OPEC revised its global oil demand prediction for 2024 to 2.03 million barrels per day, down from the prior estimate of 2.11 million barrels per day.
Chinese demand growth was also reduced lower to 650,000 barrels per day, down from 700,000 barrels per day in the prior report.
