@CrazySmitty271 Hiking rates with a weakening labor market and the current chaos with the Yen... sure. 😅 Reality check: the Fed isn't hiking in this scenario. They will pause or cut.
@jose_basa Eso de “puro market timing” queda bonito, pero omite lo principal: China restringió exportaciones de destilados. Si no puedes vender diésel/gasolina/jet fuera, recortas refino y compras menos crudo.
No es magia china: es menos outlet para producto refinado.
@JavierBlas Before calling it a supply boom: is China really buying again?
Because for two months the marginal buyer was basically missing. If those barrels need discounts to clear, that’s not strength — that’s market-share panic.
@MBAeconomics1 A few weeks ago you said the U.S. would set a silver price floor. Now it’s “last day at legacy prices” and a revaluation? Every day it’s a different story. Make up your mind.
@DarioCpx At this point, I want oil to finish dumping already so Trump’s little “peace” act falls apart and he stops laughing at everyone. Once oil is done crashing, the nonsense will be over.
@WhaleFUD If the IRGC charges “fees,” Hormuz isn’t open — it’s being extorted.
You can’t legally pay a designated terrorist group unless the law/sanctions change.
EXCLUSIVE: According to a very senior official on the PM’s team on the late-night Netanyahu-Trump call, the Axios report is inaccurate. Trump did not make personal remarks about jail or claim Netanyahu is hated globally.
Instead, the tense call focused on conflicting social media posts: Trump felt Netanyahu implied the war was continuing at full intensity, while Netanyahu felt Trump implied a total ceasefire.
Trump did note that defending Israel’s global position is difficult and breeds hatred. Ultimately, the call ended with an understanding: Israel will hold off on striking Beirut as long as it is not attacked within its own borders.
@rickjeff78@bonchieredstate Maybe you’re mistaken about there being a deal. It might be worth taking another look at your reasoning and reconsidering your position.
@AlvargonzalezV Ormuz no es el único punto de presión. Irán también puede cerrar o desestabilizar el acceso al Mar Rojo a través de Yemen cuando quiera, mediante sus aliados hutíes.
@felixprehn Washington agreed, but with a clear condition: the UAE had to leave OPEC so they could produce at maximum capacity and drive down crude prices.
