Israel-Iran Truce Pushes Oil Prices to Pre-Conflict Levels

1510 ET – Oil futures extend yesterday’s losses as the Israel-Iran cease-fire takes another chunk of risk premium out of the market and fundamentals come back into focus. “We don’t see any permanent change to supply” as a result of the conflict, says Brian Kessens, portfolio manager at Tortoise Capital. Tortoise expects OPEC+ to unwind all of its voluntary additional output cuts by year-end, leaving the market “marginally oversupplied” by 300,000 or 400,000 barrels a day, he says. “Over the longer term it will be healthier for the crude oil market because we won’t be playing this game about how is OPEC+ going to manage the market.” WTI settles down 6% at $64.37 a barrel and Brent falls 6.1% to $67.14 a barrel.
