Oil rallies as concerns grow over geopolitics
Oil prices rose on Monday, supported by a rebound in the stock market as concerns of a trade war between the United States and China eased.
Brent crude LCOc1 futures rose $1.25 to $68.36 a barrel, a 1.9 percent gain, by 12:29 p.m. EDT (1629 GMT).
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude CLc1 futures rose $1.21 to $63.27 a barrel, a 2.0 percent gain.
Prices were on track for their largest daily percentage gain since March 23.
“Once again we find the oil market being swept up in broader market sentiment,” said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at ClipperData. “After Friday’s flight from risk, the positive mood in equities to start the week is encouraging a rebound in oil, with a weakening dollar providing a further shot in the arm.”
The U.S. stock market broadly rose more than 1 percent. Crude futures have recently tracked with equities.
Oil prices fell about 2 percent on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened new tariffs on China over Twitter, reigniting fears of a trade war between the world’s two largest economies.
Market participants also focused on an air strike on a Syrian air base over the weekend. Syria and its main ally Russia blamed Israel for carrying out an attack on a Syrian air base near Homs on Monday which followed reports of a poison gas attack by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces on a rebel-held town.
The Pentagon formally denied a Syrian state television report that the U.S. military had fired missiles at a Syrian government air base.
Prices have been supported so far this year by healthy demand and supply restraint led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which started in 2017 to rein in oversupply and prop up prices.
“From a pure short-term fundamental perspective, odds still tilt bullish in our view,” Jim Ritterbusch, president of Ritterbusch and Associates, said in a note.
In physical oil markets, OPEC’s No. 2 producer Iraq said on Monday that it will keep prices steady for its May crude supplies.
WTI’s discount to Brent recently has widened to its largest since January, reflecting some of the investor caution over rapidly expanding U.S. output WTCLc1-LCOc1.
However, production from the prolific Permian basin may already be outpacing pipeline takeaway capacity and could prompt producers to slow down drilling.

Moving towards China and away from the Us:
“MANILA, April 9 (Reuters) – The Philippines is looking to seal a pact with China within a few months to jointly explore for oil and gas in a part of the busy South China Sea waterway claimed by both countries, a Philippine official said on Monday.
In February, the two countries agreed to set up a special panel to work out how to jointly explore for offshore oil and gas in areas both sides claim, without needing to address the touchy issue of sovereignty.”

Government Intervention is triggered by a Keynesian belief that aggregate demand can be increased by lower interest rates and by increasing government deficits thereby somehow spurring economic growth. Debt grows faster than income growth and eventually has to be restructured, i.e., everyone loses in the end. Since 2007, global debt has grown by US$57 trillion and it’s had disastrous results. Greece, Detroit, Puerto Richo, Venezuela are just the beginning of this trend. Soon, it will be followed by larger countries like China and United States.

MM, ALL ‘economics’ is nothing more than reading chicken guts or the way bones land when thrown. Economists are ALWAYS wrong. It is a pseudoscience, not a real means to predict anything.
If it were, why are not all “economists” wealthy? After all, they “know” what is coming. The only ones that make big money are those who publish garbage books for fools. Not one economist can tell you what will happen tomorrow. Certainly not next year or in 5, 10, or 30 years. The system cannot continue for much longer but how it will fail, who will be first, and when, are all just guesses. We shall have to wait and see. LOL.

Drove through Strassbourg yesterday, heading south, also in rain and rainbow. Listened to German radio. German guy had sued Facebook in order to find out what data Suckerbook was keeping about him. Turned out to be 1100 pages. They knew EVERYTHING about him. Data entered via FB was only a small part, it is linking to other databases that completes the picture.

Peaky, ask the residents surrounding the Gulf of Mexico what it is like living on the shores of an oil field. The South China sea is 2.3 times as large and has a much better flow of water thru it then the Mexican Gulf. Not to say that there will not be pollution but it is a big place and the actual recovery process is years away, IF there is an agreement. A lot can happen in that time frame. Many other things can happen meanwhile. The Us needs to worry about it’s own backyard.

“Louisiana’s land loss crisis doesn’t stop at the coast.

The Ruskies say that if you are going to devalue our rouble, well, then, the price of oil is going to have to increase some.
We will get those dollars and if it takes more of them to equal roubles, then that is what it will be.
Oil will cost more if the rouble declines in value.
It’s at 63 of them thar roubles to equal a dollar, indexed, and it was at one time 39 in the old days, so the rouble has lost substantial dollar amounts while the price of oil has increased, which translates to a decline in value of the dollar, but don’t tell anybody.
It can become confusing.
The snow and ice cover that constitutes the glacial massd, the ice sheet, on Greenland did slightly grow last year. The remnants of Harvey dumped boatloads of snow on Greenland’s snow and ice covered land mass, a lot, so the snow pack and ice cover on Greenland did increase over the winter.

There are record low temperatures being recorded this week, so global warming is on hold for a couple of more weeks or so, it appears that way.
The earth has to move another 22 million miles in the next two weeks, fly across the sky at one point six million miles each day, then the point in time and space will allow for more warming, the tilt of the earth will begin to face the sun even more.

Fourteen days will be about 22 million miles or 14/365ths of the distance of one revolution around the sun.
It is bound to warm up, so there you go.
Time to go fishing and stuff.
makati1 on Wed, 11th Apr 2018 6:05 am
peaky, over fishing is all over the world, not just in Asia. Fish species are disappearing from the Atlantic and the Pacific, not to mention that few are left in fresh water streams anywhere.
When I was a boy, there were bass, sunfish and perch in some local streams. Trout in others. Twenty years later, there were only trash fish like suckers, carp and mud catfish. Why? Pollution and over fishing. It’s nothing new. It just makes the news today. When the SHTF even those species will be gone as food disappears for the grocery shelves.

oil prices might be tracking markets, but they also track currencies, which also track markets. but none of these correlations is one to one, and the dynamic changes over time. I don’t think anyone on this forum is qualified to say but it will be interesting to know if the squaring off between US and China (tariffs & petroyuan specifically) during this short-term period will start to effect oil prices irrelevant of any market moves (which I think are easier to manipulate by non-state actors due to relatively small size vis-a-vis currency markets).

Missiles:
RIYADH (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia’s air defence forces intercepted a ballistic missile over Riyadh on Wednesday, state media said, after at least three blasts were heard and three clouds of smoke were seen in the sky above the capital.
Yemen’s Houthis has stepped up missile attacks on the kingdom in what it says is retaliation for air raids by a Saudi-led coalition fighting the Iran-aligned armed movement.
One man was killed in Riyadh last month by debris after the military shot down a flurry of missiles, the first casualty of the Yemen war in the Saudi capital.
Saudi Arabia and a coalition of mostly Gulf Arab states intervened in Yemen’s civil war in 2015 to try and push back the Houthis after the movement drove the internationally recognized government into Saudi exile.
The attack on Wednesday marked the fourth time in five months that missiles have flown over Riyadh, as the Houthis step up efforts to demonstrate they can reach the Saudi capital, and threatens to escalate a regional rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
The coalition has launched thousands of air strikes in Yemen which have hit schools, markets and hospitals, killing hundreds of people – though it says it does not target civilians.

Also, who will topple Assad, and what of Syrians government, are they to be disbanded like in Iraq, the US will have to muster another 150,000 man army and occupy Syria and face yet another insurgency and also face isis attacks as well. The British don’t have the power to topple Assad, thats why the dark powers are using every dirty trick they know to keep the US fighting. Obama knew what a pointless shithole Syria is,

Therefore Turkey is by its nature an enemy of the the west and secular leaders like Assad, America is doing Saudis bidding and Turkeys but Russia is helping Assad and Turkey.

Attention Doomie Preppers!
Prepping is futile.
Myth: Well-prepared individuals, groups, and communities will survive our impending collapse and maintain healthy, fulfilling, and productive lives in its aftermath.
Reality: Those who survive our collapse will be those who can obtain sufficient life sustaining essentials—especially clean water and food—on a continuous basis, both during and after collapse. Those who store large quantities of these essentials and those who attempt to produce food, either individually or in communities, will be easy targets for the vast majority who have neither the foresight to store nor the skills to produce. No matter how remote or secluded your sanctuary, somebody will know about it; and they will come to call when they become desperate; and they will be well armed and devoid of compassion. You can prepare for a last stand, but you cannot prepare for post-collapse survival. Post-collapse Life Will Be Preferable to Our Industrial Lifestyle Paradigm.
Myth: Industrialization has brought nothing but misery and degradation to the human race; our quality of life (and spiritual wellbeing) will improve substantially in a post-collapse world.
Reality: The post-collapse lifestyle awaiting the few who survive will, under the best of circumstances, share many attributes with pre-Columbian America. Unfortunately, the realities associated with subsistence level existence bear little semblance to the Hollywood accounts. Those who anxiously await our post-collapse world will be disappointed, assuming they live to experience it. The fact that nobody is opting to jettison the amenities afforded by an industrialized way of life in favor of a hunter-gatherer lifestyle today should be sufficient proof that our future way of life is not something to be anticipated. Industrialism is not inherently “evil” or immoral; it is simply physically impossible going forward.
