BofA Warns Oil Could Hit $150 as Iran Conflict Drains Inventories

Bank of America has raised its year-end Brent crude forecast to $95 a barrel, warning that prices could spike above $150 if oil inventories continue to deplete due to the ongoing conflict in Iran.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects a significant oil market crunch in 2026, with global inventories falling by an estimated 400 million barrels so far this year. Conversely, the EIA expects a substantial glut in 2027 as production recovers, potentially driving prices down to an average of $67 per barrel by the second half of next year.
