Global oil markets have been bullish since this morning, with oil futures seeing a surge of more than 2%. The impasse in peace negotiations between the US and Iran has again cast uncertainty over the market.
📊 Market Highlights:
Supply Tensions: Global supply remains under pressure due to the halt in shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.
Goldman Sachs Outlook: Analysts have shifted their expectation for normalization of exports through Hormuz from mid-May to late June.
Price Forecast: In light of this situation, Goldman Sachs has raised its Q4 WTI crude oil price forecast from $75 per barrel to $83 per barrel.
US Stance: President Donald Trump has stated that increasing economic pressure on Iran is causing long-term damage to its energy infrastructure.
Trader's Challenge: Traders will now be seeking answers to two major questions:
When and how will oil exports from the Persian Gulf resume?
How long will it take for regional production to return to pre-conflict levels?
This volatile market volatility could keep prices elevated in the short term. Keep your risk management strong and monitor market updates.
