Goldman Sachs analysts, led by Daan Struyven, warn that oil prices could average $100/barrel in 2025 if traffic disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz continue. However, a resolution could lead to rapid price corrections. This scenario poses risks to global commodity markets and industrial supply chains. Factors like China's industrial demand and LME copper stockpiles could exacerbate the pressure. Markets must assess the long-term implications while prioritizing energy security.
