U.S. crude oil futures on Tuesday fell more than 1%, shedding gains from the previous session as OPEC lowered its demand forecast for the second time in two months.
OPEC now expects demand to grow by about 2 million barrels per day in 2024, some 80,000 bpd slower than its previous forecast.
The group of oil producers sees demand growth of 1.7 million bpd next year, some 40,000 bpd lower than originally anticipated.
OPEC had cut its demand outlook in August due to softening consumption in China, the world's largest crude importer.
