OPEC oil production has fallen more than 30%, or 9.7 million barrels per day, since the Iran war began in late February, with a 1.7 million bpd drop in April alone. The cartel also lowered its 2026 demand growth forecast to about 1.2 million bpd from 1.4 million bpd due to supply constraints caused by Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Global oil inventories are depleting rapidly as supply losses exceed a billion barrels, impacting market stability. This ongoing situation highlights significant disruptions in oil supply and demand outlooks.
