Goldman Sachs is flagging a pretty high chance—65%—that the U.S. might step into the Middle East fray, specifically involving Iran. But here’s the twist: they also think there’s a coin-flip shot (50%) that a deal could still happen this year. Meanwhile, OPEC’s role is being eyed as a stabilizer to keep oil markets from going haywire if tensions escalate.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another Wall Street prediction—it’s a heads-up about how global oil prices and market stability could swing depending on whether diplomacy or conflict wins out. With OPEC in the mix, it’s a reminder that even tense geopolitical standoffs have economic ripple effects we all feel, from gas pumps to inflation worries.
