[Hedge Fund CIO: If No Signs of the Strait of Hormuz Reopening Are Seen Before Monday, Commodity Prices Will Surge Again] BlockBeats News, March 8 – Amid soaring oil prices triggered by U.S. military action in Iran, the policy toolbox is nearly exhausted. Experts warn that if the Strait of Hormuz cannot be reopened quickly, all other measures taken by Washington will be nothing more than a drop in the bucket. Some experts have criticized the Trump administration's crisis management approach. Michael Alfaro, Chief Investment Officer of energy and industrial hedge fund Gallo Partners, stated, 'Many policy decisions made or hinted at by the government in the past 48 hours show signs of a hasty attempt to calm the oil market.' He warned that if no signs of the Strait of Hormuz reopening are seen before Monday, commodity prices will surge again. However, some have defended the White House's strategy. Dan Brouillette, who served as Energy Secretary during Trump's first term, told the *Financial Times* that the government holds a longer-term perspective than financial markets. 'High oil prices are only temporary. Now is the time to remove this regime and completely eliminate its decades-long extortion of the strait.' (*Wall Street Insights*)
