The oil market doesn't believe in the U.S.这套
On March 13, even though the Trump administration relaxed restrictions on Russian oil supplies, and even though the U.S. pledged on the same day to stop Iran from blocking strait shipping, oil prices remained high. However, contrary to expectations, the oil market ignored the statements by the Trump team, and oil prices continued to stay high.
U.S. Secretary of War Hegseth said that the issue of strait shipping disruption "we are handling" and said "there's no need to worry about it." Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine said that the U.S. military is working to destroy Iran's ability to lay mines in the strait.
Micro-comment: The U.S. said it would solve the issue of Iran blocking the Hormuz Strait. But it didn't specify how to solve it, only saying it would eliminate Iran's capability to mine the strait. In order to lower oil prices, the Trump administration relaxed restrictions on Russian oil. The combined effect of these two actions: oil prices remain high, and the market doesn't believe in the U.S.这套.
