    Foreign power October 29 news, before the OPEC meeting next week, the OPEC joint technical committee basically adhered to the forecast
    of a strong rebound in demand this year and next year.

    7 million b/d in 2021, 120,000 b/d

    2 million b/d
    .

    The source said the revision to the 2021 forecast was "nothing to worry about" and was just an update
    on actual data and rounding.

    We are also seeing another global wave of pandemics spreading
    .

    by other ministers of the organization.

    .
    " ”

    Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdel-Aziz bin Salman twice this week rejected calls from major consumer countries to speed up OPEC production increases, saying the group did not expect a shortage of
    crude oil in the market.
    "Given that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) commercial oil inventories are 5.
    4 percent below the five-year average and demand is rapidly returning to normal, OPEC tends to keep production policies unchanged, reflecting the alliance's marked increase
    in tolerance for high oil prices," J.
    P.
    Morgan said in the report.
