Oil just hit $100 for the first time since 2022. Could it go to $150?
John Love of USCF Investments joins Melanie Schaffer on Lead-Lag Live at Future Proof Miami to break down the biggest oil shock since 1973. With 20% of the world's oil supply at risk through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran vowing to keep the waterway closed, and crude spiking 36% in six days — this is the most consequential energy crisis in decades.
In this episode, John explains:
- Why this oil shock is more dangerous than the 1973 Arab oil embargo
- How 6% of global supply has already been shut in — and 20% is at risk
- The Iran war scenario: drone warfare, small boat threats, and the new Ayatollah
- What happens to oil prices if Trump calls off the war vs. prolonged conflict
- Strategic petroleum reserves: why a coordinated G7 release may not be enough
- China-Taiwan risk: why China quietly built up reserves over the past year
- The Iraq War playbook: could oil see a 33% single-day drop on resolution?
- Where to invest in commodities through USCF Investments
This interview was recorded live at Future Proof Miami on March 10, 2026, as oil prices surged past $100/barrel amid the escalating Iran conflict.
