What to know

  • Brent and WTI crude fell as much as 4% on November 2 to roughly $108.64 and $99.71 a barrel respectively, as Iran-Qatar talks entered a third day with a draft proposal reportedly circulating.
  • The decline follows Brent closing October at a six-month high amid fears the US-Israeli war on Iran, ongoing since late February, could escalate further around the US midterm elections.
  • Goldman Sachs nonetheless raised its oil forecasts, warning Brent could rise to $140 in 2027 if Gulf supply disruptions and tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz persist.

    Goldman Sachs warns prices could still spike to $140

    Despite the sell-off, Goldman Sachs raised its oil price forecasts, saying Brent could jump to $140 in 2027 if Gulf oil output stays 3.5 million barrels per day below its 2025 average due to elevated supply risks.

    “Intensified shipping attacks, damage to oil infrastructure, and a more persistent risk premium remain the key triggers of potential upside…”
    — Goldman Sachs
