OCBC Group Research cuts its quarterly Brent forecasts through Q2 2027 after
shipping and crude flows in the Strait of Hormuz rebounded following a US‑Iran
memorandum of understanding. OCBC said market expectations of supply
normalization have pushed prices back toward pre‑conflict levels and rekindled
supply‑glut concerns. Revised Brent forecasts: 2026 Q3 $75/bbl (prev. $85), 2026
Q4 $75/bbl (prev. $80), 2027 Q1 $73/bbl (prev. $75), 2027 Q2 $71/bbl (prev.
$75).
