Industry - Commodity Price Forecasts - Commodity Price Forecasts

We have downgraded our Brent oil price forecast to average $67.50pb this year. Earlier this month Brent fell to $65pb, its lowest level since 2021, as the United States’ announcement of reciprocal tariffs dampened the outlook for global demand, triggering a sell-off in oil markets. An OPEC+ announcement that the group would boost production in May exacerbated the decline.
