Strait of Hormuz reopening reality (with Robert Abramowicz)

Gap between Trump's promise of immediate reopening and reality: mines removal, shipping lanes, tolls, and ship availability mean it will take time. MOU says 30 days for normal traffic. Oil price move is sentiment-driven, not fundamental.

Strait of Hormuz reopening reality (with Robert Abramowicz)

wti

Sentiment-driven move lower on deal expectations, but fundamentals unchanged. Gradual reopening will add supply over time.

Asks how easy it will be to get shipments through Strait of Hormuz once it opens.

Gap between Trump's promise of immediate reopening and reality. MOU says Iran must allow normal traffic in 30 days. Issues: mine removal, shipping lanes (Iranian vs Omani waters), tolls after 60 days, and ship availability in region.

Many ships want to get out, but how many are being brought back to maintain flow?
Asks if markets are reacting too enthusiastically to news not yet finalized.

This deal feels markedly different as US is giving in to Iranian requests. Move is sentiment-driven, no change to fundamentals. Whether correct, only time will tell.
