@kali
This is not good. 153 for a barrel of oil for May-2026 loading? This does not end well for anyone. Please stop this madness. One significant conflict is enough. Humanity does not need two concurrent conflicts.

@welkin7 @kali In the words of Goldman Sachs: we have no model to predict how bad things will get.

It probably will reach $700 for a barrell of oil.

@Rastal @welkin7 $700 is a bit much, but yeah this is not the price of oil, it is the price of a functioning supply chain.

@Rastal @welkin7 usually backwardation is short term but who the hell even knows at this point.
