Goldman Sachs prognostiziert für Rohöl der Sorte Brent einen Preis von 100 Dollar pro Barrel im dritten Quartal 2022

Jan 18 (Reuters) – Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) expects oil prices to reach $100 per barrel in the second half of the year, citing a lower-than-expected demand impact from the omicron variant of the coronavirus, coupled with further supply disruptions and OPEC+ pumping shortfalls.

„This has kept the global oil market in a larger deficit than even our consensus upper forecast,“ Goldman said in a note dated Monday.

Brent crude futures were trading around $87 per barrel on Tuesday, while U.S. Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were trading at $85 per barrel.

Goldman expects Brent prices to reach $90 per barrel in the first quarter of 2022, $95 in the second quarter and $100 in the last two quarters.

The investment bank raised its projections for Brent prices for 2022 and 2023 to $96 and $105 per barrel, up from $81 and $85 per barrel, respectively.

„It is important to note that we are not forecasting Brent to trade above $100 per barrel because we will run out of oil, as shale resources are still large and elastic,“ Goldman added.
