WTI Crude Continues To Soar As Oil Rig Count Decline Re-Accelerates

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With production soaring by the most in almost 2 years, the rig count declines (or additions) appear to have become noise but following last week's single oil rig decline but this week's re-acceleration of declines is rather notable. Total rigs declined 10 to 875 and oil rigs declined 13 to 646 (the biggest weekly drop in a month). Crude prices had soared into the rig count data (despite the record production in Russia, OPEC's promise to keep production at highs, US production surging, and economic growth slumping) and kept going after.

Short squeeze won't last.  Oil back to $35 by this fall.

But, but, oil in the $20's.   Don't hold your breath.  Too much Bankster money at stake and too many Regimes at stake to see oil much lower than the previous low.

Doubt oil is up $4.00 /bbl on one bar of rig decline.

This just in:

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a declared candidate seeking the GOP nomination for president, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is widely expected to announce a White House bid, delivered blistering criticism of the Obama administration's policies in the Middle East at the Champions of Jewish Values awards gala in New York City.

Expiration today in the June 15 heating oil and reformulated gasoline contracts.

It looks like some  shorts are getting hammered today.

We'll see how the market acts next week.  I still think it is heading  lower from here.

EIA API Cushing etc are all in a conspiracy to bring oil prices down. Cushing is empty due to the booming economy. Gas line down the block like in the 1970's soon

And... still going.  Shorts getting creamed.  Only to get ticked off next week when oil plunges and they 'could have' made a nice profit.  And so it goes... greed, fear, greed, fear, etc.
