Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicts significant oil price drop following end of conflict

Affected Assets

  • US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that global oil prices are expected to stabilize at much lower levels once current regional hostilities conclude
  • The statement comes as oil prices reached a four-year high in May 2026 due to supply shocks and the ongoing Strait of Hormuz crisis
  • Bessent indicated that the United States plans to gradually take control over key maritime corridors to ensure the steady flow of energy exports
  • Market analysts from ClearView Energy Partners noted that current price spikes are driven by war-risk insurance premiums which have tripled for large tankers
  • Saudi Arabia and the UAE have already begun diverting crude oil through overland pipelines to bypass high-risk maritime zones
