Key quotes
If you have Joe Biden as president he could basically take the US back into the [Iranian] Nuclear deal and you could see a million-plus Iranian barrels hit the market. These are the kind of things I think will be very important in the trajectory of oil into 2021.
Iranian exports hitting the market is going to put a temporary lid on how high prices can go.
