(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) lowered its crude price forecast for this year and 2024, citing a recent slump in oil prices due to banking stress, recession fears, and an exodus of investor flows.
"The first leg down in oil prices followed Powell’s hint at a potential return to 50 points hikes on March 7th, which revived recession worries," the bank said in a note.
"The second sharper leg down in oil prices coincided with signs of stress in the banking system and a sharp decline in bank equities and interest rates," the bank added.
Oil prices rebounded and rose over 1% on Monday after diving to their lowest levels in 15 months as the market worried that risks in the global banking sector could spark a recession that would sap fuel demand. [O/R]
