The United States Says It Doesn't Need the Strait of Hormuz While Giving Iran's Oil the Green Light
Trump's Latest Statement: The US doesn't use and doesn't need the Strait of Hormuz. This statement is clearly intended to diminish the status of this global oil chokepoint and downplay its impact on US supply chains.
At the same time, the US is quietly allowing some Iranian oil to be exported legally.
On one hand, stating that it doesn't depend on you, while on the other hand, allowing your competitor's oil to pass through—essentially increasing supply and cooling oil prices.
Next week, gasoline prices will likely see a mild pullback.
