Great News America: Oil Prices Are Tumbling Once Again – WTI $50 Handle
Oil prices tumbling ‘was’ great news for Americans – all those juicy tax cuts to spend on stuff that is not gas (in an entirely zero-sum game of economic value added).. but then prices started to rise. A new meme was created… rising oil prices are great news for Americans – they get to keep their high-paying drilling jobs and gas prices are cheap-ish… Following yesterday’s misunderstood statement from the Saudis (that demand for their oil will rise – because US Shale is hosed), the IEA warned this morning that another big build in inventory is likely due to a “dramatic” gain in US stockpiles. That has sent WTI back into the $50 handle range and creates a rather ominous double-top in the crude complex…
It appears the short-squeeze has run much of its course as volumes fade on each spike…
Perhaps it’s time for Energy stocks to fall back from hope-ville…
IEA warned…
While the U.S. will pump 200,000 barrels a day less crude this year than previously estimated, drilling from hard-to-penetrate rock formations will still add about 1.6 million barrels to global markets by 2020, the Paris-based IEA said Tuesday.
Excess supply will persist to the middle of the year, when oil inventories in industrialized nations may test a record high of 2.83 billion barrels reached in August 1998.
