U.S. Prepares for Multi-Day Strikes Against 'Iranian TargetsThe US just declared for multi-day strikes against Iranian targets. One would think that would support and raise oil prices as it increases the geo-politic and risk to the oil sector. But just like clockwork - oil prices have declined by 2% instead.
The only explanation I can think of is manipulation so that when they do strike the price only rebounds to the levels where oil prices started the day. This is sending the message that someone is controling the price of oil and not geo-risks nor any other organization (opec).
