Bearish for oil
Russia-Iran Oil Diplomacy Relief
Stable
Steady attention in Crude Oil coverage, without a clear trend.
Updated 14 October 2026
The bearish argument: Sources forecast that Brent crude will average $87 per barrel in Q4 2026 before falling to $76 per barrel in 2027, driven by expectations of normalized Gulf export flows following potential US-Iran negotiations and temporary Russian oil waivers. This outlook reflects analyst expectations that geopolitical tensions will ease and supply constraints will relax.
