Brent Crude prices could hit $70 a barrel in the second quarter of 2021, while they are set to average $60 this year, Bank of America said this week, raising its average price outlook by $10 a barrel from its previous projection.
Echoing Bank of America, Morgan Stanley also sees Brent touching the $70 mark this year, but a bit later - in the third quarter, expecting “a much-improved market,” including on the demand side.
On Sunday, Goldman Sachs started the investment banks’ upgrades of oil price forecasts, expecting Brent Crude prices to hit $75 a barrel in the third quarter this year, on the back of faster market rebalancing, lower expected inventories, and traders hedging against inflation.

It's also a result of our leaders recklessly raiding our treasury, which can only lead to a significant devaluation of the dollar - which oil is a hedge against.
Glad I bought a bunch. Up like 10% in the last week - it'll help offset the horrific gas prices coming our way.
I think there's still a lot of headroom for people who haven't gotten in yet.

How comes it to be that you list yourself as the author of this material?

Exactly. The rise in oil prices has nothing to do with the recent WEEK LONG winter storm, it has everything to do with the dementia-ridden dumbass’ policies that significantly and aversely impact the supply.
Thank you for pointing that out HG...seriously. The FR auto-fill got me.
Don’t blame the freeze. Blame Biden.....
Bad news for fuel prices. Good news for my long suffering Exxon stock.
I bet that Texas already has there production capability back near 100%. That is not why the price of oil is going to shoot up. That is only what they want you to think. The real problem is Biden.
I bought $20K Marathon Petrol 5 months ago......It has doubled in value as of today.
When I bought it told my wife it was a no brainer, oil stocks were very undervalued. Love it when I’m dead right!
bite en ...cover.
Thieves.
Pipeline people should have kept on going anyway.
But, but, but... frozen windmills and snow/ice laden solar panels will save us! </bullshit>
Good thing Democrat Resident Biden canceled Keystone XL!
Thanks, Democrats; thanks for higher oil prices!
Great job, Democrats!
“However, as Bloomberg notes, these forecasts for $100 are far from the current consensus.”
i hope they all lose their collective asses...
He’s going to cancel a few more, too. KXL was just a tune-up for what’s in store for America.
