Alex Letko Oil Oil prices have more upside than downside over the short to medium term due to supply constraints and inventory drawdowns
See quote
[36:07] over the short to medium term, I think there's probably upside to oil prices and simply by virtue of the fact that if you got a resolution and you opened up the straight of Hormuz tomorrow. Well, the Kuwaitis and the Iraqis have said that it's going to take them a little bit longer to ramp up production. The Saudis won't even be able to do it right away. And so you're not going to see this 10 to 15 million barrels per day of supply that's been shut in. You're not going to see it snap back overnight... in the meantime, while all that is happening, you'll continue to run down inventories a little bit... certainly we see a little bit more upside rather than downside.

The Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed from early March 2026, and by the prediction's target date of June 20, the IEA confirmed cumulative supply losses exceeding 1 billion barrels with over 14 mb/d shut in — the largest supply disruption in oil market history. Real supply constraints clearly materialized well within the predicted timeframe. (https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-may-2026)
