0141 GMT - Oil-price gains could unwind quickly when the Strait of Hormuz eventually reopens, says Macquarie. Spot LNG may take longer to drop, as it will take time to restart suspended operations in Qatar, the bank says. Among Australian stocks, Macquarie names Santos as its top pick. It reiterates an outperform rating, although notes that "upside to our valuation is now becoming more limited." It keeps a neutral rating on Woodside, which it says its now trading well above long-term discounted cash flow. Santos is up 2.7% at A$7.66. Woodside is up 0.7% at A$30.97.
