Key Points:

  • Brent crude oil could extend toward $150 if supply disruptions persist and demand strengthens.
  • WTI remains bullish, and a major breakout could open the way to much higher levels.
  • The $200 oil scenario remains an extreme outcome that would require a prolonged and severe global supply shortage.

The article examines the supply shock, inflation risks and the key Brent and WTI levels that would confirm a much larger oil rally.
