BIDEN CONSIDERING BAN ON RUSSIAN OIL; PRICES SPIKE TO THE FUCKING MOON

The CEO of PXD said if we place sanctions on Russian oil — the price of WTI will spike to $150-200bbl. About 15 mins after he said that, the White House released this presser.

The result was a mega spike in WIT and Brent with prices at session highs — Brent nearing $118.

In the oil markets, an array of names are +20-50%. I am presently long PHX, NEXT — having sold out from many others into this spike. I remain fully long my ag plays, since famine is something not to be trifled with.

The NASDAQ is stable but sharply lower at -275 and the 10yr is plunging lower to 1.73%. This is a classic risk off trade with exception to commodities. In case you’re wondering about a diplomatic resolution:

    Not sure if our elected and unelected leaders in this country could do a worse job of mismanaging all and everything if they tried.

      This is all according to plan. To build back “better” you must Step 1) destroy everything first.

      Grain prices will be doubly inflated due to the energy component in ag + the supply cutoff

      that the russian ambassador scolded the comment as contemplating terrorism is laughable in the face of what they are currently doing. the russians don’t care.

      the only way to fight evil is slay evil because it doesn’t give a fuck about you or anyone.

        When a nuclear missile is shot down, what happens to the warhead?

    I wouldn’t worry about the banning of Russian crude.
    Prices will be collapsing soon when the Canadian crude starts flowing through the Keystone pipeline (more than enough to make up the difference).
    Oh wait. I could be wrong.

    What would we be talking about if this whole industrial military complexed thingy in UKRAINE didn’t happen to all of a sudden pop off, at the same time big pharma starts to release initial data which would have immediately resulted in halt of said therapeutic, but instead doubled rev stream off it? Warmongering politicians are jealous as shit
