The International Energy Agency (IEA) stated that global oil demand will post its first year-on-year contraction in 2026 since 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to @JavierBlas and @IEA.
The IEA forecasts global oil demand falling by approximately 100,000 barrels per day in 2026. A month ago, the IEA's expectation was for global oil demand growth of +700,000 barrels per day in 2026, as reported by @JavierBlas and @IEA. These figures reflect adjustments in the IEA's outlook for oil market dynamics.
The projected contraction marks a shift from prior growth estimates.
