The International Energy Agency on Friday raised
its forecast for world oil demand for next year by 115,000 barrels per day because
of demand from emerging economies.
But the agency, the developed world's energy watchdog, lowered its 2007 world
oil demand forecast due to lower-than-expected heating fuel consumption in North
America and in Europe.
The IEA's monthly report also that supply-demand balances for winter have "clearly
improved" but warned that the market is still on edge, as indicated by oil
prices, which are still around 90 dollars a barrel.
