MCX Crude: ~Rs 6,480\/bbl. WTI: ~$74.70 (-1.4%). Weekly Brent loss: &gt;12%. Strait partially shut. Iran deal progress. SBI Q1 Thu.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>crude oil price prediction for tomorrow<\/strong> for Thursday 6 August 2026 is framed by Wednesday&#8217;s session where Brent crude extended its weekly decline to 78.44 US dollars, down 12 percent in a single week on Iran deal mediators in Qatar reporting progress, while the RBI held rates at 5.25 percent with a neutral stance. <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-50\/nifty-50-share-price-today\">Nifty 50<\/a> closed approximately flat near 24,590 while <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/sensex\/sensex-share-price-today\">Sensex<\/a> gained 321 points to approximately 78,750 &#8212; a historic divergence driven by the new Closing Auction Session mechanism. <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/indices\/nifty-bank\/nifty-bank-share-price-today\">Bank Nifty<\/a> fell 187 points to approximately 57,720 as private banks (HDFC Bank -1.13 percent, ICICI Bank -1.07 percent) underperformed while PSU banks (SBI +0.86 percent) outperformed ahead of SBI Q1 FY27 results on Thursday. The crude oil price prediction for tomorrow for Thursday balances three catalysts: the weekly Nifty options expiry, SBI Q1 FY27 results and Brent crude at 78.44 US dollars. Brent crude extended its week-long decline to 78.44 US dollars on Wednesday as Qatar reported that mediators were making progress in narrowing Washington-Tehran differences. However, the Strait of Hormuz remained largely shut with another vessel attacked Wednesday while Trump said talks had begun and Iranian officials denied it &#8212; creating a fact gap that keeps 1-2 US dollars of risk premium in crude. The crude oil price prediction for tomorrow is the most binary of all commodity articles: Iran deal formal confirmation overnight would send Brent to 72-75 US dollars; any major Iranian reversal would push Brent back above 84 US dollars. ONGC Q1 FY27 results delivered a profit more than doubling to Rs 17,034 crore, but crude&#8217;s current direction is the forward-looking crude oil price prediction for tomorrow driver. Ankit Jaiswal, Senior Research Analyst at Univest, and Kunal Singla, Associate Director at Univest, present the complete crude oil price prediction for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:

The weekly expiry pin near the max pain zone for Thursday creates a gravitational force for the first 90 minutes of Thursday&#8217;s session before SBI Q1 result catalysts take over. Rs 6,600-6,680 is the primary resistance that the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow must clear for the bullish case to be confirmed post-SBI results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Iran_Deal_and_Crude_at_7844_Core_Driver_of_the_crude_oil_price_prediction_for_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Iran Deal and Crude at $78.44: Core Driver of the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Brent crude at 78.44 US dollars is the most significant macro variable for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow. Qatar, Pakistan and Oman continued shuttle diplomacy between Washington and Tehran on Wednesday, with mediators reporting progress in narrowing differences. The Strait of Hormuz remains partially shut with another vessel attacked Wednesday, maintaining 1-2 US dollars of risk premium in crude. Ankit Jaiswal tracks three crude scenarios for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow: formal Iran deal overnight pushes Brent to 72-75 US dollars (very bullish for FMCG, Realty, Auto, Cement in this outlook); status quo at 78-80 US dollars is the base case; deal collapse pushes Brent back above 84 US dollars (bearish for FMCG and FMCG-linked sectors in this outlook).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Factors_Shaping_the_crude_oil_price_prediction_for_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Key Factors Shaping the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Qatar-Oman-Pakistan shuttle diplomacy between Washington and Tehran continued Wednesday. Qatar confirmed progress in narrowing differences. The crude oil price prediction for tomorrow hinges on whether formal Iran-US deal language is released overnight. A formal deal text would be the largest single-session crude oil price prediction for tomorrow move in years.<\/li>\n<li>The Strait of Hormuz remains partially closed with another vessel attacked Wednesday. This residual physical supply disruption risk keeps 1-2 US dollars of risk premium in crude and provides a floor for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow even as diplomatic progress continues.<\/li>\n<li>WTI at 74.70 US dollars is approaching the estimated US shale break-even threshold of 70-72 US dollars. At or below this level, US shale production growth slows, providing a natural supply-side floor for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow. OPEC+ would also intervene with cuts below 75 US dollars WTI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stocks_to_Watch_in_the_crude_oil_price_prediction_for_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Stocks to Watch in the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Univest analysts flag the following stocks for educational observation in this outlook on Thursday. These are not buy recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/ongc\/oil-and-natural-gas-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\">ONGC<\/a>:<\/strong> CMP Rs 283. Ankit Jaiswal flags entry Rs 280-283, target Rs 295, SL Rs 272. ONGC Q1 FY27 profit doubled to Rs 17,034 crore at prior-period higher crude. Now with Brent at 78.44 US dollars, ONGC faces realization pressure in Q2, making the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow direction critical for the stock. This is a watch in this outlook.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/reliance\/reliance-industries-ltd-share-price-today\">Reliance Industries<\/a>:<\/strong> CMP Rs 1,278. Kunal Singla flags entry Rs 1,268-1,276, target Rs 1,308, SL Rs 1,252. Reliance&#8217;s O2C margins improve when crude falls (lower feedstock costs). At 78.44 US dollars, Reliance faces better petchem margin visibility in this outlook. This is a watch in this outlook.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/bpcl\/bharat-petroleum-corporation-ltd-share-price-today\">BPCL<\/a>:<\/strong> CMP Rs 335. Ankit Jaiswal flags entry Rs 328-334, target Rs 350, SL Rs 318. BPCL as a refiner is the direct beneficiary of lower crude through gross refining margin expansion. At Rs 6,480 MCX Crude, BPCL GRM expands versus the Rs 7,000+ levels of two weeks ago in this outlook. This is a watch in this outlook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/screeners\"><strong>Use the Univest Screener to Track the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow Live on Thursday<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trading_Strategy_for_the_crude_oil_price_prediction_for_tomorrow\"><\/span><strong>Trading Strategy for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Monitor Iran news overnight before any crude oil price prediction for tomorrow positioning.

Ankit Jaiswal of Univest identifies Rs 6,600-6,680 as the key resistance and Rs 6,300-6,350 as the critical support for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow. SBI Q1 FY27 results on Thursday and the weekly Nifty options expiry are the twin catalysts that define the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow direction for August 6. A strong SBI Q1 beat would be the most powerful positive catalyst for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow in Thursday&#8217;s session.<\/p>\n<p>Kunal Singla of Univest notes that with India VIX at 11.48, the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow carries lower volatility expectations than Tuesday&#8217;s pre-RBI setup. The crude-below-80-dollar structural theme (Realty +2%, Auto +1.1%, Cement +1.1% on Wednesday) provides the positive sector underpinning for the crude oil price prediction for tomorrow even if banking remains under PSU-versus-private rotation pressure on Thursday.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #CC0000; border-radius: 8px; padding: 16px 20px; margin: 24px 0;\">\n<p style=\"color: #ffffff; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0;\"><strong style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Disclaimer:<\/strong> Data and figures in this article are sourced from publicly available information and may or may not be accurate.
