Citing an OPEC spare capacity estimate from the US Energy Information Administration, State said that Trump administration officials are working with OPEC to produce the spare capacity they are "not deploying."

Instead of asking others to up their oil production, why not US do it all? Oops but oil prices are not high enough to make it profitable for that amount of production right? Then why will OPEC do it? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATK + 355 AK October 4, 2018 (edited) It's not OPEC, it's hedge funds. Kinda bad for all their other investments though because they are basically pushing Emerging Markets into recessions and with the amount of debt EM have with foreign banks, if they can't pay that back then ALL their investments will tank Edited October 4, 2018 by ATK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're just market speculators. All the US has to do is to dump their SPRs over say a 3-month period. Drown the world in oil. Just when OPEC economies seems to be recovering... WHAM back to $30 oil prices again. OPEC will be so shocked and broken by oil prices then that it will take decades for investors to regain confidence in the oil sector.
