Summary

In its September outlook, the EIA forecasts Brent to average around US$90 per barrel in the second half of 2026 and US$74 in 2027. These projections use information available through 3 September and were released on 9 September; they are not today’s oil quotation.

Context for the sector

Station planning requires distinguishing crude prices, refined-fuel costs and operating margins. This international scenario can inform questions about procurement and working capital, but it does not determine Panama’s pump price per litre or guarantee higher profitability.
