Video - Jim Rogers : After Iran Nuclear Deal , Oil likely to Fall

Jim Rogers said, the crude prices could see a bottom in the short-term, which in turn could galvanize OPEC into taking action because the OPEC have not cut back on their spending and would need to keep the prices up.


Q: Iran’s nuclear deal is a historic deal. What impact do you see this having on crude prices in the near-term if at all? 

Jim Rogers : It is already having an impact. Whether it is a real deal or not is irrelevant. It is having an impact right now. My first reaction is Iran has been selling its oil - they may not have been selling it to the west, but they have been selling their oil. So there is not going to be much of a new supply on the market, but psychologically it is clear that the oil markets are ready for a correction. This has given them an excuse for a correction and so it is in process. We will probably hit some kind of bottom if we have panic selling; that usually means we are getting towards bottom and it looks like there is panic selling.
