Global Market: Goldman lifts brent, WTI forecasts as Hormuz shipping risks mount

Goldman Sachs has raised its Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil price forecasts by $5 a barrel for December 2026 and 2027, citing expectations that shipping disruptions in the Middle East will persist into next year, Reuters reported.
