JPMorgan Warns of Potential Oil Crash to $30s by 2027 Amid Supply Glut
JPMorgan's latest analysis paints a grim picture for crude oil markets, forecasting Brent crude could plummet to the $30s by 2027. The bank attributes this potential collapse to overwhelming supply dynamics, with non-OPEC production outpacing global demand. Current Brent prices hover at $62.40, having already dropped 14% in 2025 due to weakening Chinese demand.
Goldman Sachs echoes concerns with a $53 price target for 2026, suggesting further downside risk. Market observers note these projections come amid escalating geopolitical tensions that could disrupt traditional oil trade flows. The specter of a supply glut looms large, with analysts warning OPEC may need drastic production cuts to stabilize prices.
