Will Oil Demand Hit 123 Million Barrels Per Day By 2050 As OPEC Says?
(Photo: Bob Riha, Jr.) Earlier this month, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries made yet another attempt to counter energy market chatter about oil demand peaking over the medium- to long-term. At its biennial international seminar in Vienna, Austria from July 9 to 10, the oil producers' group said there was ample evidence in the market for the long-term need for black gold. This need has now reached a point of definitiveness that no one is talking about peak oil demand any more if OPEC's World Oil Outlook 2050 - a fresh assessment report on emerging energy market trends - is to be believed. In the foreword of the report, published just before the conclusion of the seminar, OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais said: "There is no peak oil demand on the horizon," given that "oil underpins the global economy and is central to our daily lives." That said the producers' group actually cut its global oil demand forecasts for the next four years faced with lower growth in China, a spread of electric vehicles in key markets, and an uncertain macroeconomic climate in the OECD countries. However, it lifted its longer-term view. Crude Projections On Oil Demand That view is based on an assumption that oil will remain 'indispensable' in supporting the economic progress of developing countries, and ensuring the steady output of mission critical hard-to-abate sectors like heavy industry, aviation and haulage. As for the projection figures, the OPEC report forecast that oil demand will average 105 million barrels per day this year. It then expects demand to grow to average 106.3 million bpd in 2026, and then rise to 111.6 million bpd in 2029, and continue rising to as high as 123 million bpd by 2050. 'Despite a marginal decline in its share, oil is set to maintain the largest share in the energy mix in 2050, at just below 30%. The combined share of oil and gas is expected to stay above 50% between 2024 and 2050. At the same time, the share of other renewables in the energy mix increases to 13.5% in 2050, up by 10 percentage points from 2024,' the report noted further. India, along with other Asian nations, the Middle East and Africa, are set to be the 'primary sources of long-term oil demand growth.' Combined demand in these four regions is set to increase by 22.4 million bpd between 2024 and 2050, the OPEC report noted, with India alone adding 8.2 million bpd. 'China's oil demand is projected to increase by less than 2 million bpd over the same time horizon. Moreover, a large part of China's increase is expected to occur over the medium-term, with fewer demand changes expected for the rest of the forecast period.' Not Quite Some Say However, OPEC's long-term oil demand projections don't quite align with what a number of other commentators think. The International Energy Agency expects global oil demand to peak at 105.6 million bpd in 2029 before marginally declining as the end of the current decade approaches. Some in the industry also believe peak demand for oil is imminent this decade. Energy major BP said last year that it even may happen sooner than most people expect, including as early as this year under a specific set of circumstances, and given the rapid growth of renewable energy. Meanwhile, the Energy Institute's recent Statistical Review of World Energy 2025, a global report that was once compiled by BP until very recently, did not directly predict a peak, but noted that some regions and nations - especially China - are seeing a slowdown or plateau in oil demand. Given a 2050 horizon is more than two decades and a half away from now, predicting a peaking of oil demand or otherwise may have a direct corelation with the make-up of the global economy and varying regional productivity levels, boosted by digital tools, each year. Maxime Darmet, Senior Economist for U.S., France and the UK at Allianz Trade said: 'In the coming decades, global productivity will be shaped by the adoption of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and the enhancements and efficiencies they bring. This will likely drive up energy consumption, but also the efficient usage of energy. Countries that take the lead here would steal a march on others.' The Allianz Trade economist believes given the time horizon when it comes to predicting energy consumption and which source would dominate 25 to 30 years from now will likely be a tricky guesstimate at best. 'Look at the turmoil the global economy is currently facing in the wake of U.S. tariffs slapped by President Donald Trump. Such developments can change the trajectory of demand (and supply) of most commodities however long or short that impact is. Oil is no exception.' Furthermore, if the future of productivity, and indeed the global economy, is digital and AI driven requiring hyperscale data centers, then many including the likes of the IEA, energy majors Shell and Chevron, believe natural gas will likely be the near- to longer-term energy source that benefits. Be that as it may, few dispute that hydrocarbons will be part of the global economy and its energy mix for a while yet. Just that oil - OPEC's preferred one - might not be as dominant a source as the producers' group expects and hopes it would be. Therefore, the debate over peak oil demand and when it will occur won't be settled just yet.

US stocks end at fresh records as markets shrug off tariff worries
A jump in US retail sales boosted world markets Thursday even as investors mulled the US rates outlook, US President Donald Trump's tariffs and the future of Federal Reserve boss Jerome Powell. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished at fresh records as investors focused on solid US economic data and earnings and shrugged off lingering worries about tariffs and Powell. "Right now, as long as the markets don't have a reason to sell off, they're going to go up," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. "The news on the economy this week has been good enough." Investors were wary heading into second-quarter earnings season, but "the data so far and the earnings are coming in better than expected," said Jack Ablin of Cresset Capital Management. Earlier, European markets also finished strongly in the green. Frankfurt and Paris closed almost 1.5 percent ahead although London could only manage a 0.5 percent rise amid a higher official UK jobless count and slowing wages growth. Overall, US retail sales were up 0.6 percent in June to $720.1 billion, reversing a May 0.9 percent decline. The figures topped analyst expectations. Besides retail sales, another week of modest weekly US jobless claims provided reassurance on the economy, said Art Hogan of B. Riley Wealth Management. "We've been worried about earnings and trade wars, but the economic data (...) remains resilient," Hogan said. Thursday's strong session on Wall Street followed a volatile round the day before. Stocks had briefly nose-dived on Wednesday following reports that Trump was planning to fire Powell, lambasting him for not cutting interest rates. But the US president swiftly denied the story, sending markets higher again. Powell's apparent security in the role also helped lift the dollar again Thursday, its latest rise in July after an historic retreat in the first six months of 2025. Trump's unrelenting criticism of Powell has prompted foreign exchange traders to anticipate that "we are moving to a world where the US wants to have a more accommodative monetary policy," said Kit Juckes, chief FX strategist at Societe Generale. But the dollar's resilience in the wake of the latest Powell-Trump dustup suggests markets still believe "monetary policy in the US is still credible," Juckes said. Among individual companies, United Airlines climbed 3.1 percent as it offered an upbeat outlook on travel demand in the second half of 2025 despite reporting a drop in second-quarter profits. Tokyo-listed shares in the Japanese owner of convenience store giant 7-Eleven plunged after a Canadian rival, Alimentation Couche-Tard, pulled out of a $47 billion takeover bid. - Key figures at around 2050 GMT - New York - Dow: UP 0.5 percent at 44,484.49 (close) New York - S&P 500: UP 0.5 percent at 6,297.36 (close) New York - Nasdaq Composite: UP 0.7 percent at 20,885.65 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 0.5 percent at 8,972.64 points (close) Paris - CAC 40: UP 1.3 percent at 7,822.00 (close) Frankfurt - DAX: UP 1.5 percent at 24,370.93 (close) Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.6 percent at 39,901.19 (close) Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: DOWN 0.1 percent at 24,498.95 (close) Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.4 percent at 3,516.83 (close) Euro/dollar: DOWN at $1.1600 from $1.1641 on Wednesday Pound/dollar: DOWN at $1.3415 from $1.3422 Dollar/yen: UP at 148.60 yen from 147.88 yen Euro/pound: DOWN at 86.43 pence from 86.71 pence Brent North Sea Crude: UP 1.5 percent at $69.52 per barrel West Texas Intermediate: UP 1.8 percent at $67.54 per barrel bur-jmb/aks Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Meta refuses to sign EU's AI code of practice
Meta has refused to sign the European Union's code of practice for its AI Act, weeks before the bloc's rules for providers of general-purpose AI models take effect. 'Europe is heading down the wrong path on AI,' wrote Meta's chief global affairs officer Joel Kaplan in a post on LinkedIn. 'We have carefully reviewed the European Commission's Code of Practice for general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and Meta won't be signing it. This Code introduces a number of legal uncertainties for model developers, as well as measures which go far beyond the scope of the AI Act.' The EU's code of practice — a voluntary framework published earlier this month — aims to help companies implement processes and systems to comply with the bloc's legislation for regulating AI. Among other things, the code requires companies to provide and regularly update documentation about their AI tools and services and bans developers from training AI on pirated content; companies must also comply with content owners' requests to not use their works in their datasets. Calling the EU's implementation of the legislation 'overreach,' Kaplan claimed that the law will 'throttle the development and deployment of frontier AI models in Europe and will stunt European companies looking to build businesses on top of them.' A risk-based regulation for applications of artificial intelligence, the AI Act bans some 'unacceptable risk' use cases outright, such as cognitive behavioral manipulation or social scoring. The rules also define a set of 'high-risk' uses, such as biometrics and facial recognition, and in domains like education and employment. The act also requires developers to register AI systems and meet risk- and quality-management obligations. Tech companies from across the world, including those at the forefront of the AI race like Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Mistral AI, have been fighting the rules, even urging the European Commission to delay its rollout. But the Commission has held firm, saying it will not change its timeline. Also on Friday, the EU published guidelines for providers of AI models ahead of rules that will go into effect on August 2. These rules would affect providers of 'general-purpose AI models with systemic risk,' like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. Companies that have such models on the market before August 2 will have to comply with the legislation by August 2, 2027. Sign in to access your portfolio
