Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin indicates that the U.S. is talking to domestic oil producers about how to increase supplies in order to maintain balance as preparation for the re-imposition of sanctions on Iran. According to the Financial Times, Paul Sheldon of S&P Global Platts suggests that unilateral enforcement of new sanctions will be more difficult now than what was in place prior to President Obama's deal in 2015. That deal obviously had broader international support than does its exit. Sheldon adds that there could be just 200 thousand barrels per day (of Iranian exports) at risk by the fourth quarter of 2018. On top of that, Saudi Arabia has spare capacity, and has pledged to support the stability of these markets.
