Event summary
Morgan Stanley predicts that oil prices will average between $80 and $90 per barrel in 2026, even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens. The firm warns that normalization of oil and gas production after the strait reopens could take several months, leading to a prolonged supply shock and higher prices. If the closure is extended, oil could surge to $150-$180, while even an 80% traffic resumption could see prices at $100-$110.
