Hyperdash NewsCommodities

Oil prices are showing increased risk due to potential war escalation, according to Goldman Sachs. The firm noted the upcoming U.S. midterm elections as a factor in this repricing of oil assets, driven by geopolitical and political uncertainties.

This assessment follows a period of volatility, with Brent crude futures settling above $100 a barrel for the first time since July 23 on September 9. Goldman Sachs analysts previously raised their year-end forecast for Brent to $90 per barrel and for 2027 to $80, citing ongoing Strait of Hormuz hostilities. They also warned that Brent could exceed $120 per barrel if Middle East output remains below pre-war levels. Traders on Hyperdash have taken
