WTI oil is losing ground as traders react to OPEC Monthly Report, which indicated that the organization cut its demand growth forecast from 2 million bpd to 1.9 million bpd.  The forecast for 2025 was reduced from 1.7 million bpd to 1.6 million bpd.

If WTI oil settles below the $74.00 level, it will move towards the nearest support, which is located in the $72.00 – $72.50 range.
