Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) analysts reportedly lowered the global oil <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil" rel="noreferrer noopener">demand growth forecast for 2024</a>.
The bank cited slower economic growth in China, increased electric vehicle adoption, and a rise in LNG-powered trucks in the country, reported Reuters.
In particular, the bank reduced its 2024 global oil demand growth forecast to 1.1 million barrels per day (mbpd) from 1.2 mbpd.
Morgan Stanley also lowered its Brent price forecast, expecting prices to average $80 per barrel in the fourth quarter, down from the previous estimate of $85 per barrel.
As per the report, Brent crude traded around $78 per barrel on Friday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/08/40334193/brent-crude-oil-faces-demand-concerns-despite-recent-gains" rel="noreferrer noopener">crude futures were at $74.52</a>.
Analysts noted that China&#8217;s shift to LNG trucks has reduced oil demand growth by 100-150 kbd, and EV adoption has displaced about 100 kbd of gasoline demand.
The oil market is tight, with inventories down by 1.2 million barrels per day over the past four weeks. Morgan Stanley analysts expect this trend to continue through the third quarter.
Recently, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) revised its global oil demand growth estimate for 2024 to 1.78 million barrels per day (mb/d), which is down from the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/08/40313301/oil-prices-eye-fourth-straight-day-of-gains-as-geopolitical-risks-overshadow-opecs-cooler-demand-f" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous projection of 1.85 mb/d.</a>
For 2025, OPEC lowered oil demand growth globally to 2.11 mb/d vs. the prior estimate of 2.25 mb/d.
OPEC stated, &#8220;This slight revision reflects actual data received for the first quarter of 2024 and, in some cases, the second quarter, as well as reduced expectations for China&#8217;s oil demand growth in 2024.&#8221;&nbsp;

Morgan Stanley Slashes Global Oil Demand Growth Forecast For 2024: Report

According to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, aircraft companies will not dominate the space industry, similar to how car makers cannot dominate the aircraft business. Musk was referring to aircraft manufacturer Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), which also makes space systems.
What Happened: &#8220;Just as the car companies did not dominate the medium of air (they tried), the aircraft companies will not dominate the medium of space,&#8221; Musk wrote in response to an X user, referring to Boeing&#8217;s hardships with their space segment.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Arguably, a natural turn of events. Just as the car companies did not dominate the medium of air (they tried), the aircraft companies will not dominate the medium of space.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1827913440872009912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2024</a></blockquote>

Car Companies That Tried To Enter Air Transport: Several automakers have entered the air transport segment with not much success including Mighigan-based automaker Ford. The automaker made 199 Trimotor aircraft before it closed its airplane division in 1933 because of poor sales.
Other automakers to have forayed into aircraft manufacturing include Honda, Fiat, and Mitsubishi. 
Boeing Starliner Troubles: NASA announced on Saturday that it would return the two astronauts who went to space via Boeing&#8217;s Starliner spacecraft –&nbsp;Sunita Williams&nbsp;and&nbsp;Butch Wilmore&nbsp;– <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40546859/boeings-former-ceo-dennis-muilenburg-said-in-2017-his-company-will-beat-elon-musk-to-mars-7-years-la">via a SpaceX vehicle in February</a>. The Starliner spacecraft would return to Earth autonomously in early September, the agency said, citing its commitment to safety.
Williams and Wilmore launched into space on June 5 aboard&nbsp;Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Though the two were supposed to return in about eight days, technical issues identified with the spacecraft while docking delayed the return journey, and now the agency has decided to scrap bringing the astronauts back on the Boeing spacecraft altogether.
Musk Expresses Optimism For Boeing&#8217;s Future: Musk on Saturday&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40542418/elon-musk-lauds-new-boeing-ceo-after-nasa-picks-spacex-to-return-starliner-crew-this-is-the-right-th" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">expressed optimism for the future of Boeing</a>&nbsp;despite the setback.
