Physical oil premium implies paper market catch-up to $125-150.The physical crude market trades at a $125-150 premium to the $100 paper market, and with the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting supply, the futures market could catch up to physical prices, implying higher oil.
-
Blockade cuts 12 mbpd, oil mispriced, target $140‑$150.Current oil prices around $103 misprice the severe supply risk of a U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which would cut off 12 million barrels per day with no short-term alternatives, requiring demand destruction and prices closer to $140‑$150.
-
Strait closure supply shortfall underestimated, physical premium.Oil prices will surge as the closed Strait of Hormuz creates a severe supply shortfall, with physical crude trading at a large premium to futures and normalization taking months, which the market underestimates.
-
Contango signals bottom as producers withhold supply.A steep contango in oil prices indicates a bottom as producers withhold current supply to sell futures, creating present scarcity and pushing up cash crude prices.
-
Blockade lasts months, sustaining high oil prices versus expectations.The US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will require months to pressure Iran, leading to sustained high oil prices that contradict market expectations of a quick decline.

Oil prices elevated due to supply blockades.
Oil prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels because the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed with minimal vessel traffic, and supply disruptions will persist due to damaged infrastructure and lengthy recovery times, keeping energy markets tight.

Oil prices may rise if no deal.
Oil prices are around $100, and if the US-Iran deal does not go through, the continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could lead to much higher oil prices due to supply disruptions.

Energy prices to remain high due to supply disruptions.
Supply disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz closure are causing destruction in the supply of oil, jet fuel, LNG, and fertilizer, which will keep pressure on energy markets and derivatives, keeping prices elevated.

Oil prices supported by supply disruptions.
Oil prices are unlikely to return to pre-war levels because the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed with only a dozen vessels passing daily compared to 100-150 pre-war, supply is disrupted due to blockades, and energy infrastructure damage will take months to years to repair, leading to sustained higher prices.

Oil prices are ticking up while the US amasses troops and ships near Iran. The broader equity market is completely ignoring the rising geopolitical threat and the corresponding rise in oil. Watch oil and energy plays as a potential hedge against a Middle East escalation that the market is currently mispricing. Geopolitical tensions de-escalate, causing oil prices to retrace.

Physical oil has spiked significantly (from $60 to $91) due to the Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz closure. With peace negotiations repeatedly starting and the market pricing in a resolution, the geopolitical risk premium on oil is vulnerable to deflation. Short oil futures as the panic buying subsides and the market front-runs a potential peace deal. The conflict could easily escalate again, or the Strait of Hormuz could remain closed longer than anticipated.

Oil prices could spike without ceasefire extension.
If the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is not extended, oil prices could spike to $120 or even $200 per barrel due to physical shortages, lack of trust in the regime, and slow restoration of shipping confidence, leading to demand destruction. The next 2-4 weeks are crucial for determining the outcome.

Gas prices drop below $3 in summer.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is optimistic that gasoline prices will drop below $3 per gallon between June 20 and September 20, citing that crude oil prices have fallen substantially and with the Straits of Hormuz potentially reopening, Middle Eastern countries can increase oil supply within a week, which should lead to lower crude oil and gasoline prices. He also plans to monitor gas stations to ensure price decreases are passed on.

Oil higher for longer, buy on dips.

Oil physical market stressed; risks remain.
The physical oil market is extremely stressed due to the Hormuz blockade, with physical premiums far above futures prices, and this stress will not turn around until flows are re-established. The market has not yet priced in potential Iranian retaliation, which could cause prices to spike again.

High oil prices are short-term; U.S. energy resilient.
The current high oil and gas prices are a short-term price to pay for tremendous long-term benefits from U.S. energy policy and resilience. The conflict with Iran has caused a spike, but the markets are resilient due to 'made in America' energy, and prices will restabilize and come back down, yielding long-term dividends.

Blockade tightening supplies means higher oil prices.
If the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz continues and energy supplies tighten further, prices for both crude oil and refined products will rise because the market is already confused about logistics and strategic motives, and any further supply restriction directly translates to higher prices.
