Sept 10 - ‌OPEC ​on ​Thursday lowered its forecast for ‌world oil demand growth ⁠in 2026 to 380,000 ‌barrels per day, ‌a copy of its monthly report showed, marking ​the fifth straight downward revision.

The producer ⁠group continues to see a ​smaller impact on consumption since the Iran ​war started than ‌other forecasters, such as the International ⁠Energy Agency, which expects demand to decline ⁠in 2026.

The Organization of ​the Petroleum Exporting Countries also raised its forecast for ‌2027 oil demand growth, according to the ‌report on ⁠its website.
