Event summary
The CEO of Chevron, Mike Wirth, announced that physical oil shortages are expected due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles 20% of global crude supply. Wirth stated that economies, starting with Asia, will begin shrinking as demand adjusts to the reduced supply. He compared the potential impact to the oil supply disruptions of the 1970s.
