Goldman Sachs Raises Brent Crude Forecast to $90 for December 2026 Amid Supply Risks
Goldman Sachs has raised its December 2026 Brent crude oil price forecast to $90 per barrel from $85, citing ongoing supply risks linked to the West Asia conflict and a high risk premium. The 2027 average Brent forecast remains at $80 per barrel, with prices potentially rising to $125 if Gulf oil output stays low or falling to the $60s if production recovers faster than expected. Supply disruptions, low inventories, and geopolitical tensions continue to influence global oil prices, while West Texas Intermediate prices are projected lower due to shipping costs.
