OPEC cut its oil demand growth forecasts for this year and next for a fourth consecutive month as it belatedly recognized a slowdown in top consumer China.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries cut its forecast for oil-demand growth for the fourth consecutive month after further delaying its planned output hike amid market concerns over weaker global consumption and lower prices.

Oil prices held near a two-week low on Tuesday after dropping about 5% over the past two sessions as investors absorbed OPEC's latest downward revision for demand growth, a stronger U.S. dollar and disappointment over China's latest stimulus plan.

Technical analysis suggests that oil prices are eyeing a bounce but could face resistance around $74.00 and $76.35. Click to read.
