Bob McNally, president and founder of Rapidan Energy Group, said that despite oil market optimism, he believes the Strait of Hormuz will close once again unless the US and Iran make major progress on a deal over the weekend. McNally said that his estimate is that it will take at least 3 to 4 months for the oil market and supply traffic to revert back to pre-war levels once there is a deal and that there are some oil fields that may be permanently closed.
