Exxon Texas Vote Faces $160 Oil Warning While Hormuz Talks Stall
Exxon Mobil senior vice president Neil Chapman told a Bernstein investor conference that crude prices could spike to $150-$160 a barrel in just weeks if global inventories drop to minimum levels. The warning adds pressure to the oil market, even as futures slipped on hopes for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire. “We’re approaching unheard of inventory levels,” Chapman said. Once stocks hit the bottom, prices can “shoot up.”
