In comments, @dl2jml provides another, differing analysis that is also interesting:

I have a somewhat higher number of doubts about this one, for a couple of reasons, but it's certainly plausible, and definitely interesting.

I could get into what I see as its flaws but I really need to get into Costco today, so I'm gonna do that instead. Maybe later. ^_^

MBS and Netanyahu Are Fighting Over Trump — and MBS Is Winning - House of Saud

Netanyahu and MBS are bidding for Trump's war in Iran. One brought ideology, the other brought a checkbook — and to Trump, the checkbook is King.

I saw an interesting analysis on how fucked US-Saudi relations are now and why, but it's on a Meta platform. [EDIT: Originally sourced elsewhere, turns out. Not that Substack is any great shakes either, but it's better than Meta]

On the plus side, it's great news for Ukraine, and yet more incredibly bad news for Putin's Russia. Suck it, Putin.

BREAKING: TRUMP JUST LOST SAUDI ARABIA

Trump told the man who controls 12% of the world’s oil to kiss his ass. That man just restructured Middle Eastern security with Ukraine, telling Trump, "It's over".

Well, this is enough of this for me tonight, some of us need to get some sleeps. Good luck to Artemis on the burn in a couple of hours. To the moon! But in a good way, as opposed to the bullshit in _this_ thread.

Peak of $107.35 so far, by the way. Currently below that, but still over $107. I'm sure there'll be plenty of daytime coverage for everyone to follow in the next couple of hours. G'night!

Oil up $8.03/barrel since right before the speech, 8.2% in the overnights, this is a massacre

Didn't occur to me to look at US market futures, since I don't place much stock

STOCK! GET IT!?

in them. But hey, can you tell where Shitstain spoke? I sure can!

Okay, oil seems to have settled in for now at a $6/barrel jump following the shitstain's verbal squirts - at least for the moment. This is as aftermarket as you get for oil, really, so reactions can be either muted or exaggerated - but a jump like this at any time of day is a big yikes under any circumstances.

(Because while this may be a thin time of day for trades, there's not an _actually_ thin time of day for oil in general.)
