Fed Official Warns U.S. Oil Won’t Fill Global Supply Gap
- Dallas President Lorie Logan warned that global oil and natural gas supplies could dwindle if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz does not normalize soon, with up to 10% of global supply effectively stranded.
- About 10% of global oil supplies remain trapped in the Persian Gulf due to ongoing Middle East conflict, yet Logan noted that Permian production cannot fill the gap due to constraints in capital, labor, and infrastructure.
- While reserve drawdowns have mitigated the shortage, inventories are finite, and Logan stated that "The economic consequences would depend on the degree to which end users can switch to other energy sources or use energy more efficiently, versus curtailing economic activity."
- At The Bank conference in Japan, the Dallas Fed official addressed broader economic shifts, noting that central bankers must re-frame expectations for healthy labor-force growth amid declining birth rates and aging populations.
- Beyond energy concerns, Logan emphasized improving Treasury market resilience, stating that "Developing a richer tool kit in calm times would support a more nimble and targeted response to any future stresses.
