The impact of the Iran war will continue for months even after any deal to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s largest oil traders have warned. Some said flows through the waterway may never return to normal. Speaking at the FT Commodities Global Summit in Lausanne, executives at some of the world’s largest oil traders warned that the rewiring of the oil market would take months even if a peace deal is agreed soon. The market is not fully reflecting the impact of the massive supply disruption, they said, cautioning that prices will need to ratchet higher to the point of pushing the global economy toward a recession if the conflict continues. Samantha Dart, Goldman Sachs Co-Head of Global Commodities Research, joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. She speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
