They highlight technical supports at $82/81, $78 and $75, and maintain a Brent forecast of $80 by end-2026 as oil flows normalise by January 2027.

"Brent crude traded down to $82.7/b overnight, adding mild bull steepening impetus to govies as central bank rate hike expectations are pared back on both sides of the Atlantic."
"Technical levels are situated around $82/81, $78 and $75."
"Our house view assigned a probability of 35% for end of June re-opening of the SoH, oil flows normalising by Jan-27 and Brent trading at $80 by year-end."
"SG Brent forecast $80/b by end-2026 based end of June re-opening, oil flows normalise by Jan-27."
"The 200-DMA around $78 could be an important support."
