OPEC chops oil demand forecast over coronavirus
OPEC chopped Wednesday its forecast for oil demand this year on the impact of the coronavirus impact and warned it may do so again.
In its latest monthly report the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries lowered its forecast for global average daily demand by 0.92 million barrels to 99.73 million barrels.
That sees average daily global demand still rising by 60,000 barrels per day, but OPEC said: "Considering the latest developments, downward risks currently outweigh any positive indicators and suggest further likely downward revisions in oil demand growth, should the current status persist."
