Decline in Global Oil Demand Leads to Lower Prices

Oman :The international oil market has seen a decrease in oil prices, now at $73.37 per barrel, primarily due to reduced demand. Despite an anticipated increase in global oil needs by two million barrels per day this year, actual demand has fallen short, particularly in China. Additionally, sluggish growth in the US and European markets has further pressured oil prices.

Oil-producing countries are facing challenges as lower prices adversely impact their budgets. If prices fall below $80 per barrel, it could significantly affect the financial stability of these states.

The drop in oil prices follows OPEC and other nations’ decision to cut oil production. Oman has also agreed to reduce its output by 180,000 barrels per day in line with these measures. Despite these cuts, the market remains under pressure, and OPEC’s production cuts are set to continue through October.
