Aberdeen's Gilhooly says oil could quickly reach $175 per barrel
About this episode
Robert Gilhooly discusses the impact of geopolitical tensions on oil prices and investment opportunities.
Robert Gilhooly, Senior Emerging Markets Economist at Aberdeen Investments , says that the continuing war in Iran has put pressure on oil prices, but he expects them to stabilize short-term while the market determines what happens next. If the outlook becomes one where the Straits of Hormuz are closed off to shipments for a longer stretch of time, he says "If things get really bad, you could be talking $175 for a barrel of oil ." Gilhooly discusses the investment adage that the first shots of war signal a time to buy, and says that investors likely will see solid opportunities, but that they might want to wait a little longer for more clarity if they didn't jump in with the very first shots. He also discusses how tensions should be good for income-producing investments like closed-end funds.
