RE:Short position oil stock recovery is little behind the oil price recovery
SU is still shy of $1 per share
on Aug 29,2024, WTI was similar to close of today, 73.57 $/bbl
and SU closed 54.66 on Aug 29 versus 53.48 today
So my guess is Oil short is still above the norm (JMO, i don't monitor trade or option volumes)

It is not to the advantage of anyone to do so(especially the Americans).
The 1 million $ question is :Is Netanhayu crazy enough to go against the Biden adm.
Or will he wait to see if his Trump friend win the election
I know that if i were short and sitting on a nice profit, i would cover at least a portion of it.
