April 30 — Standard & Poor’s (S&P) has raised its 2026 WTI and Brent crude oil price forecasts for the remainder of the year by $15 per barrel each, and lifted 2027 projections by $5/barrel for both benchmarks. The latest targets: $95/barrel for WTI in 2026, $100/barrel for Brent. S&P cited two key drivers for the upward revision: worsening oil supply disruptions and a geopolitical risk premium tied to the stalled U.S.-Iran nuclear deal. On the Strait of Hormuz outlook, S&P struck a cautious tone: Even if the strait fully reopens, oil flows would only recover gradually, and any reopening scenario would remain fragile, prone to intermittent disruptions. The firm also noted current oil prices need to rise further or stay elevated for an extended period to effectively cool demand and improve the global supply-demand balance. Price assumptions for 2028 and beyond are unchanged for now.
