BlockBeats news, on June 8, Fitch Ratings upgraded the global oil and gas industry outlook from its previous level to "Improving," citing recent oil price increases that have enhanced the industry's profit prospects.
Fitch expects Brent crude oil prices to remain in the range of $100 to $110 per barrel from June to July amid disruptions in transportation through the Strait of Hormuz, but anticipates a decline to around $70 per barrel by September as supply recovers.
Fitch assumes that global crude oil production will quickly rebound after the Strait of Hormuz reopens, and believes that no substantial damage has occurred to major oil infrastructure.
The institution stated that short-term concerns about energy supply will continue to support oil prices, but the upward pressure on prices is expected to gradually ease as geopolitical risks subside and production capacity recovers.
