    Goldman cuts 2026, 2027 oil price forecasts after deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz

    Goldman Sachs lowered its oil price forecasts after President Trump announced an interim deal that would lift the U.S. blockade and reopen the Strait of Hormuz following a scheduled signing on Friday, with the bank now assuming Persian Gulf exports normalize to pre-war levels by the end of July, a month earlier than its prior assumption of end-August.

    The bank cut its fourth-quarter 2026 Brent forecast to $80 a barrel from $90 previously, and its 2027 average forecast to $75 from $80. WTI is now expected to average $75 in the fourth quarter of 2026 and $70 in 2027.
