LOGAN, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, said on Wednesday that
if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed longer due to a U.S.-Israel war with
Iran, the world may need to reduce oil and gas consumption as shipping fails to
return to pre-war levels. U.S. oil firms in a Dallas Fed survey expect U.S.
output to rise 250k bpd this year and 500k bpd next year; global supply has
fallen about 13 mln bpd since the Iran war and the shortfall is being met by
drawing limited inventories, though LOGAN expects energy markets to roughly
rebalance soon.
