Exxon Texas Vote Faces $160 Oil Warning While Hormuz Talks Stall

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.” Traders right now are betting on a diplomatic exit, but executives keep watching real oil flows. Brent crude finished Friday at $92.05 and U.S. West Texas Intermediate at $87.36 a barrel. Reuters said the U.S.-Iran deal wasn’t done yet, and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is still much lower than before the war. “I’m surprised prices aren’t higher,” said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said low inventories are still key, even with all the focus on the deal.
