Markets plunge and U.S. oil hits $100 as Trump fails to reassure Wall Street - Lemmy.World

Welp. I’d like to not say I told ya so, because not helpful.

It’s like the FIFA World Peace Prize means nothing anymore.
I know right? Remember last year how powerful and impactful the award was?
Fortunately some people are still making a shitload of money betting on Trumps announcements 5 minutes before they happen.
Thank god the worst people can make money inside trading on war crimes.
If I had a choice? I’d rather they fleece betting sites then the stock market since the latter could have a knock on effect on me and mine.
Yes and no. Yes, I’d rather have them fleece similarly rotten gamblers. No, I don’t like them making terrible decisions intentionally, because those will always be the most profitable bets.
This is from an ARG right?

This just in: 6 time bankrupted felon can’t manage economy. More at 10!
I feel we should’ve never leave out the fact he bankrupted a casino. A fucking casino
Well also should never leave out the fact he rapes children
If this boosts renewables, then there’s a silver lining 
At least for the renew crew. At this point we’ll take any W.
Well alright then, but you’re nearly overloaded. The wrenew crew can’t take many more Ws
At least for non-US renewables, their stock prices had been less volatile compared to others.
Well, (Casual long pause) He’s at least saying (checking notes) something.

Back when I was in college, it was the first gulf war and oil was around $20 a barrel.

One of my professors was talking about shale oil and how the US has phenomenal shale oil resources but it’s not profitable at anything less than $125 a barrel “and if oil is $125 a barrel we’re all screwed anyway!”

Well…

Crude Oil Prices - Historical Chart | MacroTrends

Interactive charts of West Texas Intermediate (WTI or NYMEX) crude oil prices per barrel back to 1946. The price of oil shown is adjusted for inflation using the headline CPI and is shown by default on a logarithmic scale. The current month is updated on an hourly basis with today's latest value.

Granted $125 a barrel back then would be close to $300 today

Yeah, that’s a good point. What is $125 1992 today?

$295.79

Breakeven costs on fracking nowadays is like $60 a barrel actually, we’re pretty producing all the fracking oil we can at this point

Yeah, like I say, North Dakota was a boom town for a bit. Colorado has a metric fuck ton too.

It’s that $10 oil that made 2nd gulf war necessary. Thank god for 9/11.

We’re not screwed.

Oil no longer being available on the market is literally what’s necessary to save us

indeed, we’ve been told for 30 years we need to move off fossil fuels, we could have made our best effort to move away as fast as we could but instead a big ho hum and increased useage.

This is like experts telling you smoking was bad and then complaining you’ve lung cancer.

fuck us , maybe this will work ? here’s housing for a grind to $180 a barrel

If you think this week was bad, you should see the next one.

Oil hits $100 a barrel

I read the headline and thought, "oh damn, is the price going down?”

I thought it passed $110 when Trump started the war with Iran.

I think he bought a bunch of their oil and brought the price down for a few days.

There’s more than one oil price:

Oil prices also rose sharply, with U.S. crude topping $100 a barrel and global Brent crude at approximately $114 at around 4 p.m. ET.

Brent crude went above $100 early, but US crude just got there.

Where can I find a list of all of these prices (ideally charts) on one page, with links to a description of how a specific market’s price is determined?

I’ve been watching this; I’ve been assuming WTI Crude is the price most US outlets are talking about when they are talking about crude.

No idea how they are determined other than the market deciding?

The market tanked last week and this is the first article I have seen where it used an adjetive to describe it even though previously one percet drops would have headlines like the sky is falling. This is enough of a plunge where the rich folks are starting to notice.
This happened because Trump’s delay on global economy mutual assured destruction was vetoed by Israel. Trump cheered it on, as Israel said US coordinated with them. No media questions about “Israel’s veto” were ever asked despite him making appearances with questions.
What could he reassure them with? Absolutely none of his actions or the furtherance of those actions could benefit the US. None.

You have to really be amazed that he still has any supporters.

Markets crashing, everything getting much more expensive, concerns about upcoming crops, bombing Iran for no fucking reason…

Promises made, promises kept?

Who even fucking believes such nonsense? I swear, if un-American internal Tokyo Rose outlets like Faux “News” and hate radio didn’t exist, that support would be more like 5-10%. Without a constant onslaught of propaganda, there is no way you could sustain such absurd beliefs.
