Goldman Flags Risk of $120 Oil If Mideast Ship Attacks Intensify
Oil may rally to as much as $120 a barrel if attacks on shipping in the Middle East increase, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which recommended bets on natural gas and diesel as a way to capture gains.
“Events over the last few days do suggest that the risk of shipping disruptions broadening and intensifying is an important one,” Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research, said in an interview on Bloomberg TV.
