# OPEC trims 2025 oil demand growth estimate but hikes ‘call’ on its crude

> OPEC's June report trimmed its 2025 world oil demand growth estimate to 1.29 million b/d while raising its call on OPEC+ crude by 100,000 b/d for 2025. The report flagged bullish views on the world economy following the US-China tariff thaw.
