How the US-Iran Deal Could Affect Oil Prices

Deskripsi

Oil prices are expected to fall further following news that the US and Iran agreed to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But oil is unlikely to return to pre-war levels for some time, according to Goldman Sachs Research's Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research and head of oil research. Struyven says that oil is still at risk of rising because of lingering effects from the conflict, persistently low inventory levels, and the possibility that the Strait of Hormuz never fully reopens. Goldman Sachs Research projects Brent oil will average $75 per barrel next year, down from about $80 at the time the podcast was recorded.
