Sleepy Joe dumps another 1.8MM from SPR
Some people want us to believe that there is an abundance of oil. But the writing is on the wall! Every week Biden has to dump a lot of oil in order still control the markets, why else?
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the world's largest supply of emergency crude oil was established primarily to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products and to carry out obligations of the United States under the international energy program.

You do realise that 1.8 million barrels is a drop in the bucket, and has no real effect on the market?

I don't think you understand what is actually happening. A lot of SPR releases were mandated years ago, so if you don't know if these were from those years, or can pin them on Biden, you may be making bad assumptions.

Are there any SPR approved by congress PRIOR to Trump that have yet to be released? I see nothing else pending release.

Probably 4-5 mln barrels left to sell on the last 25 mln barrel authorisation. But, there appears to be resolve to release more SPR oil to keep US gas price down.

Doesn't much matter, as it doesn't look like even the latest Saudi move will get oil prices up high enough to make GXE's dividend sustainable. JMO
