Goldman Sachs Projects Brent Crude Prices to Ease to $80 per Barrel by 2027
Goldman Sachs forecasts Brent crude oil prices to average around USD 80 per barrel in 2027, anticipating a global oil market surplus driven by recovering Middle Eastern supplies, increased production outside the Persian Gulf, and weakening demand. The bank raised its December 2026 price forecast to USD 90 per barrel from USD 85. Despite these trends, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the US-Israel-Iran region could keep prices elevated temporarily, with current physical Brent prices exceeding USD 130 per barrel due to supply risks and low inventories.
