Description

Our Brent and WTI benchmark oil price forecasts are unchanged for this month. While it has been an eventful news month in oil markets, we see rising OPEC+ output offsetting geopolitical risks to supply, which has shifted from the Middle East to Russia. We see Brent crude prices at $65.23 at the end of 2025.
