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.)

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!

@moira I bet it would really suck for your life to be dependent on the US economy right now.

*listens to voice in headset*

Fuck.

@josh0 Oh, there is _nothing_ about this limited to the US.

Unfortunately.

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

#economy #oil #OilPrice #fascism #iran #war #FuckTrump #FuckTheGOP #FuckRepublicans

That may've been a bit of a reach even for this situation, we're back down going up and down around $105.

Which is still up well over $7 a barrel, like, $7.30ish, since right before the so-called speech.

Europe wakes up properly in a couple of hours, that'll be the next swing (if there is one).

@moira

Yesterday:

"Goldman Sachs says investors are buying call options on oil at a strike price of $US450 a barrel.".

@SuperMoosie Some people are clearly swinging for the fences as the world burns.
@moira Artemis II, bitches!

@josh0 "Scene in SPACE with Artemis II astronauts looking out of their SHIP while a BARREL OF OIL rockets past them" is _absolutely_ the editorial cartoon we need today.

only question is whether President Shitstain is riding the barrel akin to Slim Pickens in Doctor Strangelove

#oil #Iran #OilPrice #Artemis #Artemis2 #trump #PresidentShitstain #DoctorStrangelove

@moira Slim Pickens had way more self awareness than this moron.
@josh0 Also, he was the better actor.
@moira This is great. I'm sure it must be. Why else would this be happening when the great making is going strong...

@JigmeDatse To the moon!

Seriously Asia woke up and now it’s over $105 a barrel for WTI

@moira the dynamic between traders desperately wanting for the economy to normalize and Trump consistently and repeatedly making things worse for no reason has been quite funny to watch

There's no way he's stupid enough to- oh shit I guess he already did

@jenbanim honestly not wrong

tragic, horrific

but also hilarious
