Oil Prices Will Rise After US-Iran Deal, Says Former Goldman Sachs Commodities Head Jeff Currie
The Iran deal sent stocks flying and crude lower. Jeff Currie, Goldman’s former global commodity chief for 27 years, says the market has it completely wrong.
Maersk and Mitsui will not take ships back into the Gulf. Mine demining has not started. Israel and Gulf states were not party to the deal. Both sides are claiming contradictory victories. Six to eight weeks minimum before shipping resumes after demining. The pent up buyer strike means crude rallies on a signed deal, not drops. And inventories keep drawing in the interim.
Gold hit $4,000 last week. Jeff says stay short until central banks signal rate cuts. Long term target when that moment comes: potentially double the previous high of $5,500.

Jeff Currie is a very good communicator and an excellent analyst of what’s currently going on in the oil world!
There is no way he will go against Mr T and hike rates
If the straight actually opens countries will start buying oil like crazy to restock their depleated inventories. While world inventories are at 20 year lows with a buying frenzy, coupled with short sellers covering their shorts will cause oil to shoot the moon. Buy the dip!
Jeff is right!
I can listen to Jeff for hours: “these [AI] companies are good old fashioned commodity companies”
THE MAN
Don't fall for the okey doke
Smart dude. Timely interview.
This man is right, mainstream media is ignoring the truth
Trump is playing this like a businessman he wants to rebuild a strategic oil reserve and he wants everything to go well until 4th of July. That's it, after that we'll be back to square one
Exxon is at 140, oil is mid 80s. Last time Exxon was at 80 oil was at 80. Do the math.
Great macroeconomic analysis. Now let's wait until markets realize and then follow through
Damn this was good . Guy is very intelligent
60 million barrels is only ten days thats scary if gulf shipping stays stuck oil gonna rip hard
gold im staying out got wrecked catching knives last month will wait for rate cuts like he said
We are very grateful that Jeff is willing to share his ideas on a fairly regular basis!!!
No they wont. If a war and closure of hormuz wont get oil over 150 the demand destruction set to follow and the max production from outside sources will further deflate oil prices. USO to 75 which is good cuz im short
Buddy must have bought the top and now desperately needs exit liquidity.
Mr. Currie you definitely bring up valid questions.
Who is the adult in the White House willing to offer any of these answers.
America and the world are screwed due to the idiot in the white house – – – –
Sounds like a feller who's got himself lopsided long into crude oil and now caught with his pants down so he's talkin up his book. Good luck!
I was under impression that world consume 100m barrels per day ? Is that wrong?
These clowns 🤡 👆 has no idea what they are talking about . Oil will crash to $60 soon and next year will average around $50
10yr treasury 4.43%
WTI $75/bbl
Same as a year ago
Just in case you don't follow the markets, because listening to this, you would think both are up big.
shreds of guessing + jokes mixed with some sense= BS. Like his “commodity super cycle “ bs and mistakes from Covid… he is just another puppet Bragg ab future nobody’s knows
His oil predictions so far have forgone south
Spanish is missing in the auto-dubbed (Audio Track) thanks.
"Warsh won't cut." He can vote for whatever he wants. It's 4 ro 3 in Powell's favor regardless. Dissent hike anyone? Oh, the market tizzy!!
i hope he's right! so does my energy position
I lost a big gain in USO .. now at a loss … but I'm not about to bail. Believing this peace deal is credible and that it will free up oil supply lines … in my opinion is naive,
what has happened is throtlting of Sulphuric acid, Fertilizer, Pharmacuticals and Helium – not just oil supply. The countries who rely on this trade, either directly ofr indireclty in terms of imports, will lose 5-10% GDP this year and as you point out 150 ships through the straight daily will be very progressive.
Fuel prices are likely to increase dramatically within weeks as global commercial oil/petroleum inventory buffers deplete to "operational floor levels". One may need to think very hard to justify any journey using petroleum fuels anywhere soon.
