“📉 Goldman Swings the Axe 🪓 on Oil Forecasts – But Who’s Really Winning? 🤔”
TL;DR: In an unexpected twist, Goldman Sachs chops down their oil price forecast by close to 10%, pointing fingers at more oil coming out of Russia and less demand. Are we seeing the return of ‘cheaper’ oil days, or is there more to this story? 🧐
