Global oil demand growth is “slowing sharply” as China’s economy cools, pushing prices to a three-year low, the International Energy Agency said. World consumption increased by 800,000 barrels a day in the first half of the year, barely a third of the expansion in the same period of 2023, the adviser to major economies said in a monthly report.
It’s the lowest rate since oil demand crashed during the 2020 pandemic. Toril Bosoni, head of the agency’s oil market division, discusses the report's findings on Bloomberg Television.
