Skittish like a nervous horse. Markets are jumping and fretting at the slightest signal of supply disruption. And supply disruption could be gigantically bad if the never-matured teenagers prevail over the brains. The reports that Biden was having discussions with the Israelis regarding strikes against Iran’s oil facilities provoked a burst upwards in flat price. Within a minute, the price jumped from $75.98/bbl to $77.57/bbl! Remember the $100 call data we mentioned in this morning’s report? Well, open interest jumped again, while Brent flat price surpassed its 50-day moving average for the first time since July. Markets are incredibly jittery and sensitive to any headline coming out regarding the region. And $100 could be cheap if the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Lamentations (apt name ) become collateral damage in the fear boom boom. Please watch the latest ‘The Officials’ podcast where we go into the savoury details.
