    Market manipulation at its finest.

    “We are having strong peace talks” – Trump

    “What peace talks?” – Iran

    How stupid are majority of people to just take a pathological liars words at face value 🤦🏻

    The infrastructure damage done means oil prices shouldn’t be dropping any lower than the $80-$90 range but so many people are constantly misinformed because of social media. The price it’s at does not reflect what it should or will be.

    How are so many people forgetting the damage done to oil infrastructure means LESS PRODUCTION AND LESS PRODUCT. No matter how much this 🥭 tries to tell you what is happening with the war STOP TAKING HIS WORD FOR TRUTH. God the irony of the name Truth socials really is setting in now huh?

    Will it be a 3-5 year recovery for oil infrastructure or will prices magically drop further because people don’t understand the industry and are playing a guessing game with a deranged president?

      I think hes just buying time before sending in the soldiers to seize and hold the Kharg island. Once that happens, Iran will get further economically strangled.

      The futures market is completely detached from reality. It’s being manipulated to hell and back.
      Just look at Henry Hub natural gas prices—they’re somehow lower than they were pre-war. How does that even make sense? I’m genuinely curious how long they can keep up this blatant manipulation.
      What do you guys think? Is the music about to stop?

      I reckon we are in for something big once the market closes. This is most likely built purely to keep prices low. Then come a day or 2 before market closure it’ll start to rise.

      When the first missiles strike the first battalions on Kharg island shit’s really going to kick off.

      All those lives…

      Can only manipulate the market for so long. Eventually reality meets the markets at the physical level. It’s purely just to buy time.

      You don’t see mainstream ringing any alarm bells like the Philippines issuing a state of emergency over energy, Japan releasing reserves, the International Energy Agency declaring the world is facing the deepest energy crisis in history, Asian governments enacting extreme measures to reduce energy use, refineries in Singapore and Malaysia drastically reducing output with no crude coming to port, and it really goes on and on and on.

      The Asian-Pacific ring and even Europe are freaking the absolute hell out and here you have the west muting it since its market exchange tends to hold up the global economy.

      Sooner or later reality settles in. If you are not trading paper oil I don’t see much reason to be bothered by the manipulation, but I can be wrong. What upsets me is the lack of strategic planning, at least in my country (Brasil). At this point governments should be pushing for a demand reduction agenda: home office for everyone who can, lower speed limits on highways, electric vehicles and so on. If the biggest oil crisis ever actually hits, having this anticipated will be great, so that population don’t go panic mode when fuels start to vanish from distributors.

      the market exists to manipulate you, actually.

      it’s been pumped just to keep the boomers happy.

      It’s a political tool. It doesn’t mean we actually have a good economy.

      Just the rich getting richer.
