ICYMI – Goldman Sachs cut its 2023 oil price forecasts, citing a weakening demand outlook

A research note from Goldman Sachs on oil.

Sees Brent crude oil averaging $100 per barrel over the last three months of the year

  • down from its previous forecast of $125

For 2023 sees Brent averaging $108 per barrel

  • down from its previous $125

Said it anticipated oil prices would likely rise from the current levels citing:

  • “critically tight” market

On the lower forecast, citing:

  • strong dollar
  • weakening demand
  • remain powerful headwinds to prices into year-end.
  • Yet, the structural bullish supply set-up — due to the lack of investment, low spare capacity and inventories — has only grown stronger, inevitably requiring much higher prices

More:

  • “While it may be surprising that oil is pricing such low growth expectations, this reflects the outsized exodus of investors, forced away by the extreme price volatility this spring,”
