Bob McNally is cautiously optimistic the oil price rally will end before causing a recession, expecting either a ceasefire or US military action to degrade Iran's capabilities in coming weeks. He sees Iran's signal about Omani waters as an admission they can't be the long-term tollkeeper. China is weathering the storm with stockpiles. A full resolution requires a 'big deal' on nuclear and other issues.

I'm cautiously optimistic we maybe see the end of the oil price rally hopefully before it has to come to recession. His base case expects a resolution (ceasefire or US action) in the coming weeks, which would alleviate supply fears and cap the rally.
