10 12 months back thought they have got this all wrong oil will hit $150.

But ive got that 100% incorrect openly admit it.

You're probably not wrong. In fact this price action it's exactly what will sooner than later drive the price to those higher levels. There is still a fundamental shortage of investment and, let alone upcoming supply, relative to the inelastic portion of demand.
The lack of investment has been going on for so many years, that this short blip of improved prices did not come close to repairing the damage. At these price levels, we are back to discouraging investment while simultaneously encouraging consumption, when exactly the opposite needs to be occurring to bring long-term supply and demand back into balance.

I don’t think you’re wrong yet Landdownunder you just need a little bit time. With Putin and company threatening Europe there will be a oil premium until Russia’s threats are put to rest. I’m still heavily invested in oil and gas stocks, my hedge against petroleum products. Not planning on trimming my oil stocks until this conflict is over.

OPEC-led Saudi Arabia can’t be pleased with their lack-of-ability to manipulate global oil prices with production cuts. Let the cartel infighting begin . . . .

Won’t oil be on the higher side until the US get their oil reserves replenished?

U.S. inventories appear recovering on falling oil demand as recession deepens. If $75 WTI oil breaks, next stop could be mid $60 per barrel range (IMO). And if OPEC starts infighting on production quotes, oil prices could go a whole lot lower yet. Resistance @ $85 per barrel on bounce?

U.S. bank analyst estimates, pretty much garbage (in my view) . . . .

My target has been 72-74 since the end of September.

Will reassess if that level is reached.

Short-term. But what if they succeed? What does that do for demand long-term? There are a lot of rumors floating around that part of the reason for the lockdowns in China is that the cupboards are bare, so this is a way to stifle demand. What if that turns out to be true and gets revealed throughout this process?

China / Hong Kong stock markets plunging. Japan / Korea markets under heavy selling. WTI oil breaks $75 per barrel . . . China protests.
