Markets are overly optimistic about a Middle East ceasefire, overlooking the ongoing risk of a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. The physical oil price is trading at a 20% premium to futures, indicating severe supply constraints and investor complacency. If the Strait remains closed into early June, it could trigger a global recession and keep inflation above 4-5%. The analyst maintains a bearish outlook, holding cash rather than shorting, due to persistent market optimism despite rising stagflation risks.
