We don't even get our oil from Iran and we get very little from the middle east...we are energy independent thanks to Trump...any raise in oil prices in the states are an attempt to profit off of fear by the global oil companies....
Actually oil is international and not really local. As a person who spent a couple of years in the commodities market, I know how traders work. It may spike for a day or two, but then goes back down in a day or two. I never bet on knee-jerk news reports. Plus you're really not trading contracts based on what you think, you trade contracts because of what you think other people will believe.
The media will do whatever it takes to try and destroy Trump, even if it's fake news. They downplay the real news.
