Goldman says Brent could top $120 if Hormuz disruptions persist

What it means
Goldman Sachs issuing a price forecast for Brent crude is an analyst opinion, not a new supply disruption or escalation. The Strait of Hormuz risk has been an open, widely-covered situation for 47 days, and any genuine supply-risk premium is already reflected in current crude prices. A bank's conditional price target adds no new causal information that the market hasn't already priced from the underlying risk itself.
