Middle East conflict escalates significantly! Goldman Sachs: Oil prices have not yet factored in geopolitical risks.
Oil bears currently hold a record position, and if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, the risk premium for oil prices may arrive, leading to a surge in oil prices. In addition, oil prices are also supported by global easing cycle, inventory growth, and positions and valuations at low levels.
Careful of soaring oil prices? Goldman Sachs warns: the oil market is completely unprepared for escalation in the Middle East conflict.
Goldman Sachs analyst lindsay Matcham stated that further escalation of the conflict may have a significant impact on the market, especially if the conflict involves the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which could lead to a sharp rise in local oil prices; Goldman Sachs analyst lina Thomas, in another report, focused on outlining four short-term positive drivers in the crude oil product market, including mentioning Middle East trends.
