Geopolitical events will likely keep the oil market volatile, while fundamentals are unlikely to change in the short-term, ANZ research analysts say in a commentary. Front-month WTI crude oil futures are 1.2% lower at $73.77/bbl; front-month Brent crude futures are 1.2% lower at $77.58/bbl.

Ecocharger + 1,520 DL 3 hours ago (edited) Some Big Oil companies are upset at the prospect of seeing their transitional investments into clean oil now apparently stranded by the change in direction of the federal policies under Trump. However, those assets were probably misinvested anyway and were big losers in terms of returns. Trump is way ahead of the curve. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Oil-Executives-Fume-as-Trump-Shakes-Up-Climate-Rules-Again.html "The good news is that most of them are already walking back their transition targets after those targets proved quite unrealistic. Even European Big Oil is going back on transition promises after discovering these promises could not be fulfilled—not at a profit, at least."
