RE:The other ongoing big lie this past year is demand weak Oil prices should be going much higher given what is going on in the US and global economies. The Fed just released a report showing core PCE at 2.9 %. Rate cuts are coming in the US maybe as early as March. China has been increasing its stimulus. On the supply side OPEC is cutting production. US production has stalled at best and currently is in reverse due to the cold weather. The Houthis are contining their terrorist activities threatening oil transport and the Ukraine has drones that have hit Russian oil facilities. Just to top it off Tesla car batteries are sucking wind in the cold weather. Moreover, Tesla is finding out what I have believed all along which is that the are hitting a wall with the consumer in the US. At least half the country votes Conservative. Conservatives don't for the most part like EV's. Moreover the bad press about the lack of performance in cold weather and the high price along with the lack of charging stations has finally hit old Musky"s company. It couldn't happen to a nicer antisemitic jackwagon.
