Goldman Sachs: If Iran disrupts the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude could soar to a maximum of $110.
On June 23, Jin10 reported that Goldman Sachs stated that while it still believes there will be no significant disruptions in oil and gas supply, the downside risks to supply and the upside risks to price forecasts have risen. The PolyMarket prediction market now suggests that there is a high likelihood of Iran disrupting the Strait of Hormuz in 2025. If Iran's oil supply were to decrease by 1.75 million barrels per day, Brent crude oil prices are expected to rise to a peak of around $90 per barrel. If oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz decreases by 50% within a month and continues to decrease by 10% over the following 11 months, Brent oil prices are expected to briefly spike to a peak of around $110 per barrel. The European natural gas (TTF) and liquefied natural gas markets will also reflect the possibility of major supply disruptions. TTF prices are expected to rise to nearly €74 per megawatt hour.
