Goldman Sachs Warns Brent Crude Could Reach $140 in 2027 Amid Supply and Weather Risks
A Goldman Sachs report warns that geopolitical conflicts, supply disruptions, and extreme weather could cause significant volatility in commodity prices through 2027. Brent crude oil prices may reach $140 per barrel in early 2027 if Gulf supply remains constrained, while European natural gas prices could rise sharply amid colder winters and reduced liquefied natural gas exports. The report also notes increased correlations between energy prices and financial markets since the Iran conflict began, with agricultural commodities facing pressures from ongoing geopolitical tensions.
