“I think we're going to have to unfortunately live with these higher oil prices for longer.”

Thesis at the time

Bullish

Kevin believes oil and refined product prices will stay elevated for longer due to escalating Middle East conflict, low inventories, and constrained refining capacity. He cites a Goldman Sachs note pointing to higher diesel and product margins persisting due to more frequent outages and lower stockpiles.

Key arguments

  • Geopolitical strikes on refineries in the Middle East and Russia are constraining global refining capacity
  • Inventories are relatively low, supporting higher product margins
  • Brent trading around $91/barrel amid escalation

Hedges and caveats (from the video)

  • Conflicting reports between US military (CENTCOM) and Iranian sources regarding mine incidents
  • Uncertainty about whether threatened strikes will actually occur
  • Distinction made between Trump's rhetoric and actual military action
  • Acknowledgment of both US and Iranian propaganda narratives
