Goldman Sachs Raises Brent Crude Forecasts Amid Middle East Supply Risks
Goldman Sachs has raised its Brent crude oil price forecast to $105 per barrel for December 2023 and increased its 2027 average forecast to $88, citing elevated geopolitical risks and potential supply disruptions in the Middle East. The bank warned that Brent could reach $140 per barrel in 2027 under a prolonged supply shock scenario involving Gulf production shortfalls. Factors such as intensified shipping attacks, infrastructure damage, and ongoing regional tensions contribute to market volatility and a higher risk premium.
