Crude Oil Set To See Its Largest Weekly Loss Since July 2025 [View all]

The war in the ME is escalating in Lebanon

Ceasefire or not, Hormuz is still closed.

Saudi Oil Fields have been damaged significantly

OPEC+ output collapsed in March

Ukraine is still bombing/droning Russian oil infrastructure

Crude oil is below $100/barrel, if a Democrat were president it would be $200/barrel

For the people of DU who think this is a right wing talking point I need to explain this in detail so that you understand what I am saying. I am not knocking Democratic presidents, I am saying that the markets, all of them, protect Republican presidents and go after Democratic presidents. For the people here who can't understand what I am saying, then go after me again for saying it, but at least have the courtesy to telling me who you are who disagree with me.

Oil should be at least $200/barrel today with all that is going on in the ME, a fucking war is going on. 8 to 10 dollar a gallon gasoline and diesel would cripple Krasnov. The market is protecting him.

You bet I am still pissed.
