OPEC Cuts Oil-Demand Growth Forecast to 380,000 Bpd — Sep 10, 2026OPEC again cut this year's global oil-demand growth to 380,000 barrels per day from 580,000, while lifting next year’s forecast to about 2.36 million bpd as demand rebounds.

The Houthis’ rapid advances—seizing Bab al-Mandeb and threatening Perim Island and Mocha—have narrowed Saudi options and heightened the risk of wider conflict, with analysts noting limited strategic room for Riyadh and uncertainty over U.S. involvement under Trump.

Elena Vasquez Saudi Arabia has few good options left if the Houthis keep closing key routes and pushing oil prices higher for everyone.
