Cathie Wood predicts oil could crash 50% even as Strait of Hormuz crisis shakes markets amid Iran war

Cathie Wood Oil Price Forecast: Oil markets jumped nearly 50% during the Strait of Hormuz crisis, with WTI crude touching almost $120 before easing. Yet Cathie Wood warns the long-term outlook could flip. She says electric vehicles, autonomous mobility, and falling oil demand may push crude prices toward $50 per barrel in the next decade. Short-term war shocks lift prices. But technology could reshape global energy markets and trigger a deeper oil price decline.
