$HSBC+WL has raised its 2026 Brent crude oil price forecast to $90 per barrel, an increase from its previous $80 target, due to the persistent crisis surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts at the bank suggest that market rebalancing may not occur until mid-2027 as oil flows through the chokepoint remain constrained.
The ongoing geopolitical situation has led to Brent crude prices breaching the $100 mark, reaching $101 on Thursday, September 10, 2026. $HSBC+WL’s outlook factors in uncertainties regarding shipping security and insurance, while acknowledging a base-case scenario that assumes a fragile diplomatic understanding. However, the bank also highlighted a potential for prices to surge to $120 per barrel if diplomatic efforts fail and maritime security continues to be compromised, a view echoing concerns raised by Goldman Sachs.
