Extended read
Goldman Sachs has outlined a bifurcated path for crude oil prices through 2027. The critical variable is the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint for global oil transit. Persistent disruptions there could trigger a 50% increase from current base-case levels. While the base case assumes a return to diplomatic norms, the tail risk of a $120 spike poses a significant inflationary threat to global central bank targets.
