Trade Ideas
Oil stays high due to transport costs.
Oil prices are likely to remain elevated because the Hormuz Strait blockade and the resulting increases in transportation costs (shipping, insurance, crew risk premiums) will persist even after the war ends, offsetting any supply increase from UAE leaving OPEC. This structural cost premium will keep crude oil prices high.
