@LibertatemMaxi@RayDalio WTI is traded on the world market via NYMEX/CME. It’s not USA’s private supply. The price is market price. Customers of Hormuz are now buying more WTI. So whether US needs oil from Hormuz is just a political soundbite. The price goes up with demand and supply.
Trump needs a deal that looks like victory and functions like a ceasefire. Brokered through a third party. Built around the nuclear question, not regime change. Concluded before $100 oil destroys him at home.
