GOLDMAN SACHS ON OIL: WE NOW EXPECT WTI TO AVERAGE $75/BBL IN 2026 Q4 AND $70/BBL IN 2027

- Goldman Sachs late on Monday lowered its fourth-quarter Brent crude oil price forecast to $80 from $90 earlier and cut its 2027 average Brent oil price forecast to $75 from $80, after U.S. and Iran signed a preliminary agreement to end their war.

It now assumes that Gulf exports will "normalize to pre-war levels by the end of July (vs. end of August previously)," the bank said in a note.
