Jeff Currie, former head of commodity research at Goldman Sachs, warned that the ongoing disruption of the Strait of Hormuz makes oil prices virtually unstoppable in the near term, and no policy response—such as strategic petroleum reserve releases or government interventions—can meaningfully reverse the trend. The strait carries roughly 18.5 million barrels per day, and a prolonged closure could halt more oil than the entire U.S. strategic reserve holds. Currie also framed this as part of a broader commodity super‑cycle driven by chronic underinvestment, shifting demand patterns, and geopolitical risk. He promoted a “HALO” investment approach, favoring heavy, low‑obsolescence assets that can hedge inflation and supply shocks.
