crude
Discussion centred on whether crude’s recent weakness reflects a temporary logistics-driven surplus or a lasting physical oversupply. Jeffrey Currie argued that trapped crude moving through the Strait explains the decline, but that depleted inventories, constrained shipping and tight refined-product markets leave the broader system vulnerable to a rapid return to tightness 1. Erik Townsend said collapsing timespreads could instead signal an emerging genuine surplus, although he found that interpretation difficult to reconcile with storage constraints 3. Patrick Ceresna highlighted depleted inventories and a potential geopolitical catalyst for crude to move back above $100, while noting that a peace deal could push it to $80 or below 4.
