Goldman Sachs raised their Q2 Brent forecast by $10/bbl to $76. Dart notes that if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain low for "another five weeks," prices could cross the $100/bbl threshold. While the US administration is trying to engineer lower prices (waivers, SPR talk), the physical reality of a supply disruption in the Strait creates an asymmetric upside risk for oil prices. The "war premium" is back. Long exposure to crude oil futures or energy producers. US Treasury intervention or a rapid de-escalation of the conflict leading to a price collapse.

Refined petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel) face constrained supply due to damaged Gulf refinery capacity, while demand is likely to rebound faster than supply, creating a near-term tightening in product markets.
Gold has structural support from a sustained trend of central bank buying that began after Russian asset freezes in 2022, driven by precautionary diversification. This trend is alive and will support gold prices for at least another couple of years, with Goldman expecting $4900/oz by end of year, nearly $1000 upside.
European natural gas storage is unlikely to reach over 70% this year, with risk of going lower. Summer demand from Asia is competing for LNG cargoes, and with winter approaching, Europe and Asia must compete to build storage, driving prices higher to curb demand.
