BRICS Implications: JP Morgan Predicts Crude Oil to Reach $150 Per Barrel by 2025
The global energy market is bracing for a potential shock. According to JP Morgan's analysis, led by Christyan Malek, the head of EMEA energy equity research, crude oil prices could surge to $150 per barrel by 2025. This prediction is fueling speculation about the impact on BRICS nations and the global economy.
The Energy Supercycle and a Looming Deficit
JP Morgan’s Christyan Malek recently released a report predicting an “energy super cycle.” He believes that this cycle will push prices to unprecedented levels. Christyan Malek, the lead for EMEA energy equity research at JPMorgan, predicts that by 2025, crude oil prices could soar to $150 a barrel. Malek believes a looming energy supercycle could drive this increase.
Overall, J.P. Morgan Research estimates that global oil markets could face a 1.1 mbd deficit in 2025, widening to 7.1 mbd in 2025. Consequently, oil prices could spike to $150/bbl over the 26 de sept. de 2025. JPMorgan's EMEA Head of Energy Equity Research, Christyan Malek, predicts crude oil prices may hit $150 per barrel by 2025 due to an impending energy crisis.
Brent Crude at $150: JP Morgan's Prediction Details
The bank anticipates a significant rise in Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices, with Brent potentially reaching $150 per barrel by 2025. JP Morgan expects Brent oil to hit $100 by the year-end and $150 per barrel by 2025.
As oil prices spiked above $90 in September 2025, the highest since November, concerns are mounting about the potential for further increases as JP Morgan's $150 target approaches.
What This Means for BRICS Nations
The potential for oil prices to reach $150 per barrel has significant implications for BRICS nations. As both consumers and producers of oil, these nations will face a complex set of challenges and opportunities. Higher oil prices could benefit oil-exporting BRICS members, but could also exacerbate inflation and economic instability in oil-importing nations within the bloc. The $150 oil prediction warrants careful consideration and strategic planning by BRICS economic leaders.
