Dramatic change in the oil supply reaction function still ahead – Goldman Sachs
Early Wednesday morning, Goldman Sachs (GS) came out with their upbeat analysis of oil prices with key comments like, “The market has far overshot the likely impact of the latest variant on oil demand.”
“Given the large uncertainties at this time, we await further news on the variant's development and additional restrictions imposed before refreshing our supply and demand balances and oil price forecasts,” adds GS.
The US-based bank also expects the structural repricing higher due to the dramatic change in the oil supply reaction function lying ahead.
