Re: Oil

1) China has 40% of global oil stockpiles: they will be fine "for a while"
2) US gets no oil from Middle East & controls Venezuelan oil now. No gasoline shortage, but prize hikes will hurt.
3) EU is FUCKED
4) Japan & India highly exposed (major oil importers)
1) China is now buying 90% of Russian oil. LNG pipeline is being built rapidly from Russia to China.
2&3) Agreed
4) Both still get some amount of Oil from Russia, also India is now buying Venezuelan Oil, LNG from Canada/US but it won't be cheap when comparing to middle east.
 
Interesting developments effecting oil price this morning:

- Saudi Aramco #1 refinery hit and possibly offline.


- multiple reports (with video and acknowledgement by CENTCOM) that F-15s are being hit and down. Possibly friendly fire?

- US running low on interceptors and multiple Gulf countries claiming US has abandoned air defense of their territory to focus on US/Israel defense.


- other Arab countries reporting same.


- Hormuz straight shut


- oil price being manipulated and stuck at $72. Volatility should be much higher

- multiple reports from trusted sources of deepening concern over the situation spiraling beyond what has been suggested by White House
