Volatility sucks (although there is money to be made), I'd rather a stable $70 for the next 20 years than swinging between $30 and $100. This drop may be the catalyst for OPEC to cap/cut production at the meeting this month (next month?) which could end up causing prices to rise.


I forget where but I read that OPEC was already considering a cut in production before the recent drop.

Crude above 65 is good for me. Natural gas being high is even better because it props up coal.

It's good for my state. But we should have diversified into other industries long ago.

It's probably good at low prices for some of the plants that aren't refineries. I'd imagine fuel is a big input cost for them.

People in Louisiana have to stop being stupid first. You can't have businesses where there are no viable employees.

It overshot to the upside a bit earlier this fall and now it’s overshot to the downside a bit. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it settle in the 60’s soon that’s what the fundamentals point to.

I have a degree too and I work for the railroad. College is a waste.

Yes. That is their plan. Trump came out today and urged them not to and the reason for the drop in pricing today.

I would think Trump at the moment has the Saudis by the nuts over the killing of the journalist last month.

+1

I'd much rather pay a little bit more for gasoline and have better economic conditions in Louisiana. Everything is so intertwined with how goes the oil patch

Oil prices are less about supply and more about the US dollar and interest rates...when US rates rise, dollar strengthens, oil prices fall...an inverse relationship...it has been out of whack early this year...that is why oil prices are falling... catching up with dollar strengthening

Nope, more about currency valuations then anything else

Just Google: inverse relationship between oil prices and dollar index

Rates and economics are my business, tracking currencies and commodities is part of it
