As Bank Fears Spread, Oil Craters


As fears over the banking system weigh on markets worldwide, the price of oil has come under significant pressure in recent days with WTI crude oil, the U.S. benchmark, falling below $67 on Wednesday, its lowest price since November 2021.



In just 10 days, oil fell from $80.46 to $67. Today, WTI Crude is $66.59.

Since oil and gas are half the Russian economy, they need oil to remain above $60 to stay solvent.

Speaking of Russia, Putin is going begging to get someone to take his oil.


Ships filled with refined fuels are floating off the coasts of Europe, Africa and Latin America, potentially ratcheting up waiting fees. Some vessels hauling the OPEC+ producer’s crude oil are bouncing between ports without discharging, while others are unloading and being stashed at unusual locations.

It all points to a network of logistics that is struggling to keep pace with servicing a country that exports over 7 million barrels a day of crude oil and products. A vast swath of that trade has shifted from Europe to new and less-familiar customers, often thousands of miles further away.

“There has already been a mismatch in what is leaving Russian ports and what is imported by buyers of Russian oil,” said Giovanni Staunovo, commodity analyst at UBS Group AG. “This is translating in higher volumes of oil on water, and considering a limited number of tankers available to transport oil, if those tankers are not unloaded, it will translate in lower exports and production at some point.”



Putin thought he had the world over an oil barrel. He made a catastrophic error in judgement.

Tank the US banking system - to get Putin. Brilliant! I see no flaws in this "plan"
 
I looked it up and what I read it said 2012 gas was the highest. I figured it was Biden also. Said gas hit $3.65 a gallon average in 2012.
$3.65 is nowhere near the record.

It hit $4.06 in 2008. Before Obama.

How do you not remember this? Are you really young or something?

The all-time record is now $4.92 in 2022.

China set a new record for oil imports from Russia this month. Xiden has brought the two counties closer
 
So then it don't bug you how the Flaming Liberal turned Leftist *City
has some kind of Bill that calls for blacks to Receive their Reparations
NOW.$ 5 Million per eligible Black { must be 18 or older }
The * City used to have a black population of 13 % but it now

This city bill also includes a Yearly salary.I think it's

Putin has had to offer steep discounts to entice his few remaining friends to buy from him.
 
Hefty Chinese buying, alongside robust Indian demand, has been spurred by steep price discounts but is providing Moscow much-needed revenue after the Group of Seven imposed a $60 price cap on Russian crude.
 
"Craters"? What does that mean? Gas prices are still double what they were during the Trump administration.
Gas prices do not magically change at the same time as oil prices.

The gas prices you see reflect what oil prices were a few weeks ago.
