World oil demand set for first annual decline since 2020, IEA says

The IEA forecast oil demand declining for the first time since 2020, citing disruptions from the Iran war that have damaged Middle East production and exports. This shift implies a meaningful tightening/weakening balance effect for crude markets and could pressure energy complex pricing and stock sentiment. Report is described as breaking news, so near-term volatility risk remains elevated.
