  "summary": "OPEC has forecasted a significant surge in global oil demand growth to 2.6 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2027, up from just 200,000 bpd this year. This projection would raise the average world oil demand from 105.7 million bpd in 2026 to 108.3 million bpd next year. The increase is primarily driven by inventory rebuilding as refiners, traders, and governments replace barrels drawn down during the Iran war, with OECD commercial stocks being 177.2 million barrels below their 2015-2019 average in August.",
