During World War II for example, German stocks peaked in 1941, well before the military disaster at Stalingrad. The US market rallied following the Battle of Midway in June 1942 even though conventional wisdom at the time downplayed its significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of Friday, the Strait of Hormuz is supposedly opening back up, and crude oil sold off accordingly. The Administration will be hoping for a return to normalcy. Gasoline prices remain a looming political issue with midterms in November. But the stock market evidently sees much to like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Barton Biggs was alive today, he might say equity investors in their collective wisdom have concluded that the energy crisis is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That looks premature to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blog-Image-April-19-2026-1.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"various energy stocks performance chart\" class=\"wp-image-24372 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image April 19 2026 1\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Past performance is not indicative of future results. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blog-Image-April-19-2026-1-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The US economy is more resilient to energy price shocks than in the past. This is because our energy intensity has been declining for decades as the service sector has increased its share of GDP. Life is also more energy efficient, from automobiles to refrigerators and light bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the shale revolution led to US energy independence, higher oil doesn\u2019t simply represent a wealth transfer from consumers to OPEC. Oil producing regions of the US, notably Texas and the southwest, receive an economic boost that offsets the drag imposed by higher energy costs elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rise in crude is stimulating increased US exports, currently 5.2 Million Barrels per Day (MMB\/D) as of the most recent weekly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ycharts.com\/indicators\/us_crude_oil_exports_wie\">data<\/a>&nbsp;(April 10) and +1.1 MMB\/D on the prior week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Iran and the US have shown that they can stop maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran\u2019s pledge to reopen it falls short of permitting freedom of navigation. Ships will still need to check in with the Revolutionary Guard and travel close to Iran\u2019s shore, allowing visual identification. The free flow of maritime traffic still isn\u2019t back. Ships will only start moving again once it\u2019s deemed safe. Iran\u2019s asymmetric ability to impact the world economy is more potent than a nuclear bomb and far cheaper to implement. The US can\u2019t keep a naval force in the region indefinitely. Iran will continue to create trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it\u2019s odd that energy stocks have weakened. ExxonMobil and Chevron are below their pre-war levels. The LNG exporters have also ceded gains but investors are starting to acknowledge the improvement in their long term outlook. Qatar is still not exporting any LNG and nobody knows when they will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran will always retain the option to close the Strait with not much more than a few dozen drones and missiles. This is the bull case for US energy exports. The shale revolution, which began over a decade ago, brought America first energy independence, then energy security and now even energy autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although gasoline prices are up, the US economy might be the least negatively impacted in the world. Even the Gulf states that would normally benefit are suffering from lost revenues as they shut in production. They\u2019re also facing many $BNs in costs to repair infrastructure damaged by Iranian missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crude oil futures are becoming increasingly less representative of the actual prices paid for physical delivery. The futures markets dominate. In March, the ICE futures exchange traded over 57 million&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ice.com\/report\/7\">contracts<\/a>&nbsp;on Brent crude, equivalent to over 18 times global consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying a futures contract doesn\u2019t get you crude today. The physical shortage has led to prices paid by refineries, especially in Asia,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theberkshireedge.com\/future-vs-physical-how-the-oil-market-broke-in-two\/\">reportedly<\/a>&nbsp;$10-20 or more per barrel over the front month futures contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given travel times from the Persian Gulf, the last shipments that were in transit before the Strait closed have been arriving at their destinations over the past week or so. Fertilizer, sulfur, helium and aluminum all come in various significant volumes through the same bottleneck, and their absence will similarly ripple across global supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blog-Image-April-19-2026-2.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"US natural gas trade 2023 to 2027\" class=\"wp-image-24373 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Image April 19 2026 2\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Past performance is not indicative of future results. <a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blog-Image-April-19-2026-2-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big integrated oil companies must be worth more than before the Iran War broke out. The LNG names similarly look as if the pullback offers a good entry point. The Energy Information Administration is forecasting that LNG exports will exceed 20 Billion Cubic feet per Day (BCF\/D) next year, up from 18.7 BCF\/D this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barton Biggs wrote a great book, but sometimes the market\u2019s message can be misinterpreted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other day I found myself chatting with someone about AI. Naturally, I steered the conversation to the enormous power demands of data centers, one of the themes behind our exposure to natural gas and related infrastructure. My interlocutor was familiar with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/corticallabs.com\/\">Cortical Labs<\/a>, a start-up that\u2019s using neurons to process information. I learned that they are harvested from stem cells and then genetically modified to eliminate any sensitivity to pain. Neurons require glucose and salt, not kilowatts \u2014 apparently 2 calories per neuron per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one answer to the looming power crunch caused by data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted April 19, 2026 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/calmer-but-not-resolved\">Calmer But Not Resolved<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As of Friday, the Strait of Hormuz is supposedly opening back up, and crude oil sold off accordingly.
