      He’s talking about interest rates. i is the interest, rate r* is risk, (y > y^*) is the “Performance gap” in the ecconomy SOH is Straits of Hormuz BEM is Bab El-Mandeb

      “lets see if a hike…” he is saying the american federal reserve raising interest rates wont open the strait or produce any physical oil.

      “you can’t 25bp a chokepoint” is him saying that raising interests rates by .25% won’t fix the supply shortage.

      The “r* isn’t neutral” is him saying that the risk involved in borrowing money is determined by the axis of resistance.
