Summary
WTI crude prices are forecast to remain strong, touching $100.50 per barrel, driven by persistent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. This bullish sentiment reflects market concerns over potential supply disruptions from the region, keeping a risk premium in the oil price.
Strategic Implication
Sustained high oil prices above $100/bbl significantly boost the fiscal revenues of GCC and other MENA oil exporters, enabling increased government spending and sovereign wealth fund deployments.
