Mnuchin pointed out that the authorization for the new tariffs only allows the measure to last for 150 days. He said, **during this period, U.S. trade authorities will seek to use other legislation to restore the tariff regime that existed before the Supreme Court ruling.** “**I firmly believe that the tariff rates will return to the old levels within five months**,” Mnuchin said. “While the process is slow, it is more robust,” he said when discussing the so-called Section 301 and Section 232 tariffs that are planned to replace the tariffs ruled invalid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). After Mnuchin's comments on raising tariffs, U.S. stock index futures gave back their gains. **The Treasury Secretary also downplayed the risks to the oil market from a potential U.S.-Iran war, stating that global supply is ample and the Trump administration will take measures to support the industry.** “I encourage everyone to look beyond the noise and see where we are headed in the crude oil market—**the supply in the crude oil market is very ample**,” Mnuchin said, “There are hundreds of millions of barrels of oil in waters outside the Gulf. But more importantly, we will be making a series of announcements.” He mentioned a previously announced plan that the U.S. government would provide insurance for oil tankers at the appropriate time and that the U.S. Navy would provide security escorts for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. When asked about Trump’s comments on Tuesday suggesting a trade embargo against Spain and whether the Treasury Secretary would be responsible for this matter, Mnuchin stated, “This will be a joint action.” He did not specifically comment on whether such sanctions would be implemented ### 相关股票 - [ChinaAMC CSI Petrochemical Industry ETF (159731.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/159731.CN.md) - [ISHRS S&P Glb Engy (IXC.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IXC.US.md) - [iShares US Oil Equip & Svcs (IEZ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IEZ.US.md) - [Bosera CSI Oil & Gas Resources Index ETF (561760.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/561760.CN.md) - [VanEck Oil Refiners ETF (CRAK.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/CRAK.US.md) - [China Universal CSI Oil & Gas Resources ETF (159309.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/159309.CN.md) - [SPDR O&G Ex & Prd (XOP.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XOP.US.md) - [United States Oil Fund LP (USO.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/USO.US.md) - [Invesco Oil & Gas Services ETF (PXJ.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/PXJ.US.md) - [Guotai CSI Oil & Gas Industry ETF (561360.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/561360.CN.md) - [iShares US Oil & Gas Expl & Prod (IEO.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IEO.US.md) - [VanEck Oil Services ETF (OIH.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/OIH.US.md) - [VG Energy (VDE.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/VDE.US.md) - [SPDR O&G Equip (XES.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XES.US.md) - [SPDR Energy Select (XLE.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/XLE.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [This Little-Known Company Is the Best Oil Stock to Buy Now, Says UBS Group (UBS)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280516057.md) - [Valero Energy Readying Port Arthur Oil Refinery Restart After Explosion](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280439587.md) - [Valero's Port Arthur, Texas, refinery, hit by fire, local media reports](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280240839.md) - [Valero shutting Port Arthur, Texas, oil refinery after blast, say sources](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280252722.md) - [RF&L Wealth Management LLC Buys 6,320 Shares of Chevron Corporation $CVX](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/280297546.md)
