Context
The statements from Treasury Secretary Bessent about Iranian oil suggest a potential easing of supply constraints in a market already facing a significant deficit of 10-12 million barrels per day. If countries are indeed facilitating deals with Iran and increasing shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, it could alleviate upward pressure on oil prices. However, the US's intention to control the Strait raises geopolitical risks that could impact shipping and supply logistics in the region.
