There is a push to ramp the price up to prevent defaults in the shale oil industry. Solvency is based on the 12 month average of the oil price, Yes, we are entering into false flag event territory. Suckers beware.

At least temporarily. I'm just waiting to see what the Houthis will do (with Iranian help) to any southwestern Saudi oil facilities.

Cushing inventory up.

Refinery demand down.

Yet oil prices go up?
