Based on: Speculative
Brent Crude closed at $90.69/barrel on August 31, 2026 (+8.26% in August, +33.14% year-on-year; Trading Economics). OPEC+ agreed in August to complete the 3.5 MMbpd rollback for September but no further increase for October — consensus per open market outlook (CNBC, WorldOil 02.08.2026). Structural support: ongoing US sanctions on Iranian oil exports (Treasury, August 2026), IDF operations in the Middle East, and robust Asian demand. Headwind: risk-off environment due to hawkish Fed; Kalshi US recession odds at 34%. Base scenario: Brent holds above $90 through September.
