The US Treasury is reportedly considering trading in oil futures to bring down energy costs as the war in Iran tests President Donald Trump’s affordability kick at home. Experts are pleading: Please don’t.
“This is the worst oil supply crisis in modern history,” Amos Hochstein, former US assistant secretary of state for energy resources, tells Semafor. “You can’t financial-paper-exercise your way out of it.”

This is from March 10. Lots of rumors are saying Scott Bessent secretly shorted the oil markets to reduce the price. Buying billions of dollars of short contracts. A lot of traders and analysts are saying this happened. They are saying there will be a short squeeze.

This is an oil trader talking how it is actually hard find oil on the market. The $102 price does not reflect what is going on. Some places in Asia it $200 a barrel irl.

MAGA? did it all work out? Are you enjoying the amazing “hottest” country Trump promised?
MAGA? Let’s go, speak up. Helloooo? Share your joy and tales newfound riches and prosperity.

Mortgage rates are up too, in anticipation of higher inflation from the higher fuel prices. Trump's economy sucks.

Didn't they go out and buy Teslas to drive after Trump started shilling from them on the White House lawn.
Heck to the no. They can't roll coal in an EV.

It does. But hopefully it creates some pressure on Trump to end this war. A big part of MAGA lives in rural and small town America and drive enormous distances every day. And they’re not driving EVs. MAGA is feeling these prices more than anyone else is. It’s very expensive driving a lifted pick up truck every day.

Expect higher food prices, too, due to diesel prices going up. Truckers and farmers are being hit.

Another reason to go solar, and allow personal solar panels. This war clearly shows how the reliance on oil can create havoc for countries. Other countries have realized this and so are trying to wean themselves off on the reliance on oil. Not the US, though. We're controlled by oil barons and billionaires, and the likes of the Trumps who are getting rich off the war.
