Goldman Sachs analysts forecast Brent crude oil prices to rise to $86 per barrel this quarter, a nearly 7% increase from current levels. Healthy consumer demand and solid summer demand for transportation and cooling will push the oil market into a sizable third-quarter deficit. Recent oil price declines were exacerbated by OPEC+ plans to unwind output cuts starting in October. Brent crude is trading just above $80 per barrel, while WTI is just over $76 per barrel.
