On this week&#8217;s episode of\u00a0<em>The Financial Hour of the Tom Dupree Show<\/em>, Tom Dupree Jr. and Mike Johnson broke down exactly what&#8217;s driving elevated oil and gasoline prices right now, what history tells us about these moments, and \u2014 most importantly \u2014 how Dupree Financial Group is actively managing client portfolios in response. If you&#8217;re thinking about retirement or already in retirement, this conversation is one you&#8217;ll want to understand.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Oil Prices Are Surging Right Now<\/h2>\n<p>The immediate cause is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway through which roughly 20\u201325% of the world&#8217;s daily oil traffic passes \u2014 approximately 8 to 9 million barrels per day. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">U.S. Energy Information Administration<\/a>\u00a0data, 89% of that oil is ultimately destined for Asia, with China receiving around 38% and India approximately 14\u201315%. This isn&#8217;t primarily a U.S. supply problem \u2014 but it is absolutely a U.S. pricing problem.<\/p>\n<p>As Tom Dupree Jr. explained on the show, American oil \u2014 West Texas Intermediate \u2014 is priced in a global market. When global supply is disrupted, domestic prices rise regardless of whether the U.S. is importing that oil.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When the world oil market goes up, our oil goes up regardless of whether we are buying it from anywhere else. So it even affects us here in the U.S., even though we are energy independent.&#8221; \u2014 Tom Dupree Jr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>The Strategic Petroleum Reserve: A Band-Aid, Not a Fix<\/h2>\n<p>A natural question is whether the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) can ease the pressure. The short answer: not meaningfully. According to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/petroleum\/strategicreserve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EIA&#8217;s SPR data<\/a>, the reserve holds oil in 60 salt caverns along the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, with a maximum capacity of 714 million barrels. As of early March, the SPR held approximately 415 million barrels \u2014 representing roughly 125 days of supply \u2014 but its maximum release rate is only about 4.5 million barrels per day, a fraction of the daily volume bottlenecked through the strait. It also takes around 13 days for released oil to reach the market.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Johnson put it plainly: this is a supply chain bottleneck, not a shortage of oil.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Think about what happened during COVID with supply chain issues. This is the same scenario, maybe worse. It just happens to be with oil.&#8221; \u2014 Mike Johnson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Short-Term Inflation, Long-Term Uncertainty<\/h2>\n<p>High oil prices touch virtually everything \u2014 plastics, fertilizer, transportation, heating, cooling, and even the energy demands of AI computing infrastructure. Fertilizer inputs, including urea and ammonia, also pass through the strait, creating additional upward pressure on food costs that could affect companies like Caterpillar and John Deere further down the supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>In the short term, elevated oil prices are inflationary. But if the disruption causes a broader economic slowdown, deflationary forces could eventually follow. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finra.org\/investors\/insights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FINRA investor education resources<\/a>\u00a0regularly caution that geopolitical shocks create exactly this kind of dual-directional uncertainty \u2014 and that reacting impulsively can do more harm than the event itself.<\/p>\n<p>The bond market is already reflecting this tension. As Tom noted on the show, the 30-year government bond appears to be heading back toward 5%, as fixed income investors price in the possibility that inflation may not be fully contained \u2014 and that the Fed may hold rates steady for the remainder of the year.<\/p>\n<h2>What History Tells Us About War and Market Volatility<\/h2>\n<p>Mike Johnson reviewed the historical record during the episode, and the findings may surprise you. Historically, market volatility spikes at the onset of a conflict but tends to recover relatively quickly. More instructive is what happens during extreme volatility clusters \u2014 periods when large moves, both up and down, happen on back-to-back days.<\/p>\n<p>The 2008\u20132009 financial crisis is the clearest example. Following the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy on September 15, 2008, the market experienced a sequence of 4\u20138% swings \u2014 up and down \u2014 within the same week. As Mike pointed out, those kinds of moves translated to 3,000-point Dow swings, similar to what investors saw on &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; earlier this year.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When you have these clusters of volatility, it shakes all investors to their core. It&#8217;s ultimate fear and ultimate greed, literally back-to-back days.&#8221; \u2014 Mike Johnson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trying to trade through that kind of volatility is, in practice, nearly impossible. The window to act is measured in hours, not days \u2014 and you don&#8217;t know which direction the next move will be.<\/p>\n<h2>How Dupree Financial Is Managing Portfolios Right Now<\/h2>\n<p>This is where\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dupreefinancial.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personalized portfolio management<\/a>\u00a0matters most. Rather than riding out the volatility passively or reacting emotionally, the Dupree Financial team made deliberate, research-driven moves this week.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Trimmed energy positions:<\/strong>\u00a0The team took partial profits on two energy holdings \u2014 one exploration and production company and one large integrated oil company \u2014 that had appreciated 15\u201325% due to the current bottleneck. They did not sell entirely, recognizing that the situation could persist, but reduced exposure to a scenario they cannot predict.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserved cash and optionality:<\/strong>\u00a0The proceeds were partially redeployed into a shorter-term bond position at approximately 3.71% yield, while keeping some in cash to maintain flexibility for future opportunities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintained dividend-paying positions:<\/strong>\u00a0Most holdings in client portfolios continue to pay dividends, providing income regardless of short-term price swings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Positioned for potential buying opportunities:<\/strong>\u00a0If markets experience a capitulation event \u2014 a sharp sell-off where stocks become &#8220;stupidly cheap,&#8221; as Tom described it \u2014 having cash on hand means the ability to act rather than watch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tom framed the profit-taking this way: trimming energy stocks that had appreciated 15\u201325% in roughly two and a half months was equivalent to capturing three to four years of dividend income in a single move \u2014 a perspective that reframes &#8220;selling high&#8221; as disciplined income harvesting.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You let the market tell you when it&#8217;s time to sell. We&#8217;ve had several positions that we bought at reasonable prices, and over time the market got very, very happy about those particular stocks. And finally it became a compelling thing to let the market have it.&#8221; \u2014 Tom Dupree Jr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This approach \u2014 owning things at reasonable valuations, monitoring current yield as a measure of risk, and acting when the market offers the opportunity \u2014 reflects the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dupreefinancial.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">investment philosophy<\/a>\u00a0Dupree Financial has built its practice around. It stands in contrast to a set-it-and-forget-it mutual fund approach or the kind of mass-market allocation model offered by large national firms that assign clients to counselors rather than connecting them directly to the people managing their money.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways for Investors Thinking About or In Retirement<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Strait of Hormuz closure is a\u00a0<strong>supply bottleneck, not a shortage<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 oil prices are high because delivery is disrupted, not because oil has become scarce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duration is the key variable.<\/strong>\u00a0The longer the blockade lasts, the deeper the economic impact. The market is pricing in uncertainty because nobody knows the timeline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil companies are not a one-way bet.<\/strong>\u00a0When the strait reopens, prices could fall sharply \u2014 possibly to the $50 range, according to at least one analyst \u2014 meaning energy stocks could give back gains quickly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Volatility clusters.<\/strong>\u00a0During high-uncertainty periods, large market moves \u2014 up and down \u2014 tend to happen in rapid succession. Trying to trade them is a losing game for most investors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cash has strategic value.<\/strong>\u00a0Having liquidity during volatile markets means having the ability to buy quality assets at depressed prices \u2014 an advantage a fully-invested, static portfolio doesn&#8217;t have.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Income-focused investing provides an anchor.<\/strong>\u00a0When you&#8217;re in or approaching retirement, dividends and bond coupons keep cash flowing even when prices are moving unpredictably.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more perspective on how global markets are moving, visit the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dupreefinancial.com\/podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Market Commentary archive<\/a>\u00a0on the Dupree Financial website.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>How do rising oil prices affect my retirement portfolio?<\/h3>\n<p>Higher oil prices can be inflationary in the short term, which may pressure the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates higher for longer. That can create headwinds for both stocks and bonds. For retirees drawing income from their portfolios, sustained inflation also erodes purchasing power. A portfolio built around dividend income, short-duration bonds, and carefully valued equities is generally better positioned to navigate this environment than one relying purely on price appreciation.<\/p>\n<h3>Should I sell my energy stocks during the Strait of Hormuz crisis?<\/h3>\n<p>Not necessarily \u2014 but taking partial profits after a 15\u201325% run may be prudent, especially in a retirement portfolio. The uncertainty around how long the blockade lasts cuts both ways: prices could go higher, or the situation could resolve and oil could fall sharply. Trimming rather than selling entirely allows you to capture gains while keeping some exposure to a continued rally.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve enough to stabilize oil prices?<\/h3>\n<p>No. While the SPR currently holds approximately 415 million barrels, it can only release around 4.5 million barrels per day and takes roughly two weeks to reach the market. That&#8217;s a fraction of the volume being bottlenecked through the Strait of Hormuz. The SPR is useful as a short-term pressure valve but cannot replace the full flow of international oil traffic.<\/p>\n<h3>What should retirees do when markets are extremely volatile?<\/h3>\n<p>Avoid making large moves based on short-term headlines. Volatility tends to cluster \u2014 meaning big down days are often followed by big up days, and vice versa. Investors who sell in panic often miss the recovery. Maintaining a clear plan, holding dividend-paying positions for income, and preserving some cash to deploy on attractive opportunities is a more disciplined approach for long-term retirement investors.<\/p>\n<h3>Why does the price of oil affect Americans even if the U.S. is energy independent?<\/h3>\n<p>Because oil is priced in a global market. West Texas Intermediate crude, the U.S. benchmark, trades based on worldwide supply and demand dynamics. When global supply is disrupted \u2014 regardless of where that oil was originally headed \u2014 U.S. prices rise in tandem with international prices.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Is Your Portfolio Ready for What Comes Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Moments like this one \u2014 oil supply shocks, bond market volatility, uncertain Fed policy \u2014 are exactly when the difference between a personalized investment strategy and a generic one becomes most visible.
