OPEC has lowered its 2026 global oil demand growth forecast by 190,000 barrels per day to 780,000 bpd, marking the third consecutive monthly downward revision. This reflects a softer global crude consumption outlook, aided by rebounding Gulf production and normalized shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, easing supply pressures. Lower demand growth suggests weaker oil prices ahead, which could reduce natural gas and electricity costs, benefiting energy-intensive Bitcoin miners by improving their profit margins. This dynamic may reduce miners' need to sell Bitcoin, easing market selling pressure and potentially attracting renewed institutional interest in mining stocks if the trend continues.
