Goldman oil forecast

(Money CNN)Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500) raised its end of 2009 oil price forecast to $85 a barrel from $65 and introduced a new end of 2010 forecast of $95.

"The recent rally in WTI (U.S. crude) prices is likely to be but the first stage in the oil price rally that we expect will accompany a recovery in economic activity," Goldman said in a research note.

I have no doubt that the economic had hit the bottom but the issue now is recovery rate.
