Banks Slash Oil Price Forecasts After U.S.-Iran Breakthrough
Major financial institutions including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Citi have lowered their oil price forecasts for late 2026 and 2027. This shift follows news of a potential peace deal between the U.S. and Iran, which is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and increase global oil supply.
Why it matters
Lower oil price forecasts suggest market confidence in the de-escalation of the U.S.-Iran conflict and a potential reduction in global energy costs.
Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs cut their forecast for oil prices towards the end of the year and 2027 following developments in the peace negotiations between the United States and Iran earlier this week.
