Goldman Sachs analysts are warning of a potential surge in crude oil prices to $120 per barrel due to escalating Middle East tensions. According to Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research at Goldman Sachs, recent maritime attacks in the region demonstrate genuine concerns about shipping disruptions.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for oil exports, and any disruption to trade could have significant consequences for the global economy.

Goldman Sachs projects that if tensions continue to escalate, crude oil prices may reach $120 per barrel. Conversely, if regional export volumes stabilize and tensions ease, prices could retreat to $80 per barrel.
