Tomorrow is going to be a bloody mess in all markets:
https://finviz.com/futures.ashxYou're doing a heckuva job, Dopey Don!
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-rejects...U.S. crude futures rose more than 20% in early trade on Monday, hitting their highest since July 2022, amid fears of tighter supply and prolonged disruptions to oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Brent jumped 17% to $108.73 a barrel, having already soared 28% last week.
On Wall Street, S&P 500 futures ESc1, opens new tab shed 1.6%, while Nasdaq futures NQc1, opens new tab dived 1.7%.

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.

We're in uncharted territory-
I posted, on the Policy board, the all time high, of something like $147, for WTI, in July 2008. Adjusting for inflation, that would be about $214 now.
I saw a $118 print earlier this evening. Bill saw a print over $119. As usual "Mr Market" is driven by herd panic. Currently, WTI at $107.05 and Brent at $110.65.
After the invasion of Iraq, I found I could buy big oil in late January, ride the inevitable ramp job through the spring, and sell at a nice profit around Memorial Day. Worked that scheme several years in a row, through 2008.

NPR is talking $4/gallon by the end of the week. Some traders are targetting $200/bbl.
Prior runups were different. The oil began to flow. This time, the oil won't flow.

Yes, and, in reverse, adjusted for inflation $107 now (for instance) would be the same as $159 then. I know we live in a math-challenged world, but isn't $159 still more than $147?

Ah, the media is starting the hysteria parade, as it does with everything it latches on to.
Buckle up.

The G7 is meeting to find ways of getting more oil.
The traders have oil down $2.59 for the day.
Reading between the lines is dangerous?
