RE:When is this going to end A 26M SPR release in 2023 is a lot better compared to the 220M SPR release in 2022.
SPR releases are only delaying the inevitable. Trying to keep WTI arificially low might encourage OPEC+ to reduce their output or it might discourage oil development in North America which is only going to make things worse long term.
Energy policy in the U.S. and Canada is a disaster. It is just a matter of time before the price of oil blows up. Right now is like the calm that happens just before the tsunami arrives. Load up on oil focused stocks now and you can sit back for a couple of years with no worries.
