Oil Prices Spike On Saudi Fears

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Oil prices are spiking (WTI crude is up $3 off this morning's lows) following the pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia. Of course, energy stocks are surging on the news too and we are just waiting for some clever talking head to proclaim this surge as demand-driven showing how strong the economy is...

Oil is surging...

 

Some context for the move...

 

and energy stocks following for now

Wow this world has become true propaganda....Rigging all the elections, machines dictating asset prices, spreading some deadly virus, blowing up some pipeline to manipulate prices, shooting down a plane and blame others....

It reminds me of a lot of music videos from the 80s....like Welcome to the Jungle by GNR...holy shit, everything is playing out like the world has turned into a JUNGLE

Every fuckin day something fucked up happens...yet we just go home after work herded into the subway like cattle and RINSE our faces before going to bed AND REPEAT the same nightmare the next day

IT'S THE DEMOCRAP'S REVENGE I TELL YOU!

They're wasting no time messing things up so the GOP won't win the WH in 2016!

It's also a ploy to throw off impeachment of Obongo!

Just think of the environmental destruction happening from all the spilled crude and releasing of evil hydrocarbons.

Al Gore is cowering and weeping quietly in the back of his personal jet.

Damn, day one and the "it's all Bush's..., ahhh, no, it's all the Dems fault is already going full steam.  Do you people have no shame?  Your red team is every bit as capable of fucking things up royally all on their own, just like the blue team.

What? As long as they have oil the U.S will always come to the House of Saud's rescue, regardless of who is "in charge".

Goldman.  They just told us last week oil was going down to $75.  Well, it got to $76 or so, and now it's time to shear the sheeple.

instead of blowing up their pipeline couldn't they have just raised prices peacefully?  why all the drama?

Big shake ups at defense and state I would imagine.

Don't see how that clown at CDC survives either but we'll see.  Chuck Schumer  is handing the gavel over...not until January of course.  The majority in the House is now truly huge though.  "That's where all the money is" folks.  Republican districts in "the rich States" (Colorado, Wyoming, Texas, Wisconsin, Florida) are going to be swimming in dough.  Bad day for California and the Left Coast in general.  Obviously great day for utilities and nuclear power in particular.  Fail to see how coal ever recovers from Mitch McConnel though.

That dope and his "deal making" destroyed the entire industry (and I might add the economy of Kentucky.)

I smell a rat in this Saudi news...but they're not nice to the Shiites over there either so it should not come as no surprise.

We needed the boost in GDP that happens whenever oil prices rise.  Because, remember, when oil prices fall, it hurts our GDP because of the shale oil industry.  Or some such fucking nonsense.

Same as it ever is with any other market, get a few stories out there to entice the shorts and then squeeze it higher.

There will be a month of lower gas prices just prior to the 2016 Kangaroo "Elections."

So your theory is O reduced oil prices so the R's could kick ass in the elections?  That was awfully generous of him.

Or that the prices were allowed to lower in a last ditch effort to save as many seats a possible.

This rally is a gift from the gods. You should be selling it with both hands. Oil is going at least 20$ lower from here.

Or you could just play oil through the eminis. You see there is a direct correlation between oil and the market. When oil goes up the market goes up, when oil goes down the market goes up; the solution is clear. BTFATH bitchez!

I would expect some news about Russia to make its way to the headlines.  Some sort of ignition to get the full-scale nuclear winter going.

+10 on that DH.   I'm wondering why there isn't more chatter about this, since McCain is now head of the Senate ASC.    Most of these Republicans ran on a platform of higher defense spending and increased global 'projection', and that can only mean One thing - ratcheting up the rhetoric with Russia and China.

Not really.

A blind monkey could see it coming after a pipeline goes BOOM!

Just as he could see that all the market indices would be green after the elections.

Oh woo is my metals, at least in the short. GO long!

It was really nice of ISIS, or whoever, to wait until after the elections to blow up that pipline.

Well, I did post here about someone like ISIL propping up the OilPx by bombing the KSA Pipelines. 

That's all it takes.  Watch them take one of their jets and latch an Anti-Ship Missile to it; and see it take on Tankers for yet another spike - just like the Iran/Iraq War...
