Claim 1: “Chinese demand for oil has tumbled 9% from before the Iran war, according to JPMorgan”
MISLEADING
Two independent web sources (Yahoo Finance and AOL) confirm that JPMorgan strategists report the world is adapting to '9% less oil'. However, the claim attributes this decline specifically to 'before the Iran war'. The evidence mentions JPMorgan's 9% figure but does not link it to an 'Iran war' as the cause; rather, it discusses general oil demand shifts and mentions other historical shocks. The claim adds a specific causal link (Iran war) not present in the provided evidence.
