oil, earnings, and supply

Sometimes things come at you in threes, and this week was a bit of a 3 week. Here

are 3x3 things — oil, earnings, and supply — that got our attention this week.

First: Oil. Front-month Brent oil rose almost 10% this week to $96/bbl (and briefly

topped $100) as commodities are being buffered now by three supply disruptions as

Daan Struyven and Yulia Grigsby discuss in “Oil: New Upside Price Risks Amid Red Sea

Tensions,” including:

1. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz;

2. New disruptions to the Red Sea passage (an alternate route to the SoH); and

3. A further decline in Kazakhstan exports amid Russia-Ukraine escalation.

Rising oil prices create a headwind for big energy consumers, but they are also

creating a headwind for stock market valuations as 10-year US Treasury yields are

rising alongside oil prices as bond investors consider the inflation implications of a

prolonged energy crisis. Yields on 10-year US Treasuries rose about 10bp this week

to 4.66% and are now at the highest levels we have seen since the early days of the

Trump2 Administration.
