"The managers believe oil has entered a major bull market as the Strait of Hormuz closure exposes years of inadequate investment and faltering shale growth, targeting $120-150 oil. They expect precious metals to correct significantly after triggering sell signals."
Executive Summary
Goehring & Rozencwajg believe the oil market has entered a major structural bull market driven by the unprecedented closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting 15 million barrels per day, combined with years of inadequate upstream investment and faltering U.S. shale production growth. They argue the market was already structurally tight before the crisis, with global inventories approaching critically low levels that risk system breakdown. The managers expect oil prices could reach $120-150 per barrel, representing an eight- to ten-fold repricing from COVID lows. Conversely, they believe gold and silver have triggered a sell signal and face a long correction period, with severity depending on central bank behavior. They remain bullish on uranium due to structural deficits and coal due to Asian demand recovery and Indonesian supply cuts. The firm has repositioned from precious metals into energy investments, viewing any weakness from eventual Strait reopening as buying opportunities rather than warnings of broader market normalization.
