The Frontline Impact

The agreement between the US and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is expected to release millions of barrels of crude currently in storage, increasing global oil supply and opening arbitrage opportunities for Middle East crude to reach European and US markets. This could lead to lower oil prices internationally.
