# Brent And WTI Crude Oil Price Forecasts Face A New Test As Peace Hopes Cut Prices

> Brent spot fell 2.5% to $108.86 a barrel and WTI spot traded at $100.71 on Monday as diplomatic hopes challenged expectations of further Middle East fighting. BofA expects peace to restore supply and lower oil prices in the first half of 2027, while Iran says Hormuz could reopen within two days if Washington meets its demands.

## Why it matters

Restored Hormuz flows would ease crude and fertiliser supply constraints, lowering input costs for feed. Analysts note that a proposal is not yet a supply recovery, so the price path depends on whether demands are met and on the Federal Reserve's rate outlook.
