OPEC cut its global oil demand forecast again, lowering its estimate for required crude output this quarter by 520,000 barrels per day. The group cited a weaker economic backdrop and China's strict COVID measures.
The cut follows a similar-sized downgrade a month earlier as OPEC implements production cuts.
