UPDATE 1-US EIA sees stronger 2010 world oil demand growth
* World oil prices seen rising slowly
* Growth led by China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil
(adds EIA comment on higher world oil demand)
WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Information Administration on Wednesday raised its 2010 world oil demand growth forecast by 60,000 barrels per day from its previous estimate.
The EIA said in its monthly forecast it now expects world oil demand to climb by 1.56 million bpd in 2010 to 85.82 million bpd from a year earlier.
Nearly all growth in world oil consumption this year will come from outside the major industrialized countries, led by China, Saudi Arabia and Brazil, the EIA said.
The agency also said world oil prices will rise slowly "as an expected renewal of global economic growth leads to higher world oil demand."
