Summary
- Massive physical damage to Middle Eastern oil, gas, and shipping infrastructure is being ignored or actively suppressed by US government market interventions.
- Major OPEC producers (Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia) have significant production shut-ins, and the Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed to normal transit.
- The disconnect between paper markets (oil dropping below $100) and physical reality (shortages, force majeures in chemicals/fertilizers) will resolve in either parabolic price spikes or severe global rationing.
- AI infrastructure build-outs face massive headwinds if energy (oil/natural gas) prices skyrocket, which would destroy the unit economics of data centers.
- The global economy is risking a 1970s-style stagflation doom loop, exacerbated by a US debt-to-GDP ratio of 130% compared to 30% during the Nixon era.
Trade Ideas
Kuwait right now, which is one of the leading members of OPEC, is producing no oil. Iraq, one of the leading members of OPEC, is producing almost no oil. Saudi Arabia, their production is down significantly. The physical oil market has lost massive production capacity due to infrastructure attacks, but financial markets are artificially suppressing the price via government intervention and shorting futures. Eventually, physical reality will force either a massive price spike to balance demand or result in global shortages. LONG USO as the physical supply deficit will ultimately overwhelm paper market manipulation. The US government successfully caps prices indefinitely through unprecedented non-market interventions, or a sudden, unexpected peace agreement is reached.
Amazon put out press releases about their data centers being impacted. OpenAI was already like the white whale for Microsoft, it's already losing tons of money. Guess what happens if the cost of energy goes parabolic. Those data centers become even less economic. AI data centers are highly energy-intensive. If global oil and natural gas prices spike due to the Middle East conflict, the operating costs for hyperscalers will explode, destroying the already fragile unit economics of their massive AI investments. AVOID AMZN and MSFT as their massive AI infrastructure capex is highly vulnerable to an impending global energy shock. Energy prices remain suppressed by government intervention, or tech companies secure long-term, fixed-rate nuclear/renewable energy contracts that insulate them from fossil fuel spikes.
Russ Lefon which provides 20% of the world's natural gas just from Qatar has already undergone force majeure they've already shut down. A massive chunk of the global natural gas supply is offline and requires weeks to restart even if peace is declared today. This creates an immediate physical shortage that will drive up the value of natural gas globally, impacting everything from heating to fertilizer production. LONG UNG to capture the severe supply shock in the natural gas market. Mild global weather reduces natural gas demand, or alternative global suppliers ramp up production faster than expected to fill the void.
