Goldman Sachs Forecasts Brent Crude at $80 in 2027, Impacting India's Oil Costs
Goldman Sachs forecasts Brent crude oil prices averaging $80 per barrel in 2027, with a revised estimate of $90 for December 2026. The bank attributes this to an expected global oil surplus starting late 2026, driven by recovering Persian Gulf exports and expanded transportation capacity. For India, lower oil prices could reduce the import bill, ease current account pressures, and moderate inflation, though outcomes depend on Middle East developments and currency fluctuations.
