JP Morgan sees Brent as high as $120 a barrel on tighter supply21 Sep 2023 11:22
Analysts at investment bank JP Morgan warned that Brent oil prices could rise as far as $120 a barrel, especially as markets tighten further in the wake of supply cuts by Saudi Arabia and Russia.
The supply cuts were the key driver of a nearly 30% rally in crude over the past two months, and are expected to continue underpinning prices in the near-term.
But JPMorgan (NYSE:JPM) also warned that higher oil prices could dent global economic growth, especially with interest rates also set to remain higher for longer.
Higher oil prices have also been a key driver of inflation in recent months, which in turn elicited a hawkish outlook from the Fed.
