Oil Blows Past $100 Per Barrel - Experts Warning $200 Possible

[Zincwarrior]

You're kidding.

Biden 2025..... how'd that work out?

Now you are getting it. Inflation killed the Dems. Now its MAGA's turn.

Trump did that.

Prices were as high or higher 4 years ago. In 2022 prices averaged $86/barrel.

Biden then nearly depleted the SPR.

Speculation

Prices went briefly below $80 today and currently sit at $84.54.

Oil prices blow past $100 a few hours ago for the first time in years. Experts warning investors to expect all time highs.

Not what a weakening economy needs that’s for sure.

After adding more than $40 a barrel in a little more than five trading sessions, the nominal record for West Texas Intermediate futures—$145.29, set on July 3, 2008—no longer seems out of reach. And if the Strait of Hormuz remains a barrier to Middle Eastern barrels reaching the market for long, an inflation-adjusted all-time high around $215 a barrel might also be in sight.

What were you saying about $200 a barrel for oil?

Its about $85 today

Wishful thinking?

I didnt say that. The thread above correctly reports that prices blew past $100 and some experts think it could get to $200 if Trump doesnt reverse course. The market thinks he will reverse course even though he is flip-flopping on it. We'll see if he follow through or not. Follow through isnt one of his trademark characteristics.

That means prices haven't spiked? It's just our imagination?

 

[Mashmont]

It’s up 50%. The fact that it’s not up 100% is a win? What a cult!

LOL. Yesterday, you were crowing about oil possibly hitting a new record. Now it's cratered the other way. You did the same thing with the stock market. Spiked the ball at the 10 yard line.

Some lib trump haters rushed to predict $200 oil and you excitedly reposted

But it aint so, much to your disappointment

Trump is at 36%. It sure is.

 

[Rawley]

Biden Harris. One of the main drivers was inflation. Kind of like now.

?? Biden won your party's primary.

Sure. OK. You've picked a side, and it surely ain't Trump's and the Pubs.

 

[Delldude]

Trump is at 36%. It sure is.

20% was the original offer.

 

[Zincwarrior]

20% was the original offer.

And oil is going back up. Probably on news if the mining of the Strait.
