It doesn't always...But yesterday due to flimsy ceasefire and FOMC minutes suggesting rate hikes might be on the cards.

That aged well SenatorSmoothBrain!

"By the way, no ship is passing through Hormuz Strait at the moment..."

10 have so far today but before Trump's brain fart it was 50-100 a day.

@SenatorPrime

That's why you don't put the rainy day fund in stocks like this.

Whatever exposure you're comfortable with, whether it be a 10k punt or 1m "investment", be prepared to lose it all.

There are differing views on Tullow, but surely one thing we can all agree on is that it definitely doesn't reward patience...

"that he is a good businessman and he knows how to look after his own people and country he doesn’t care about anyone else"

If Trump had invested his inheritance in a S&P 500 tracker, then he'd be richer than he is now...

Not sure how striking Iran, tariffs and everything else is helping everyday Americans. Even if it all "ends" today, inflation is still going to rip.

@draft

Most of the booms here in UAE are interceptions, which usually sound a lot closer than they actually are.

Quite a lot of newcomers here have fled but most old timers have stayed. As expected, the media reporting is very overdramatic and horseracing, along with many other things, went ahead as normal last weekend.

“ Why are the USA attacking Iran.....”

Because Trump is compromised by Netanyahu and the entire cabinet has taken Israel lobby cash for decades.

Well at this rate, Anton's gonna need $400 Brent to break-even 😆

CaptainSwag, have you been fiddling with Andrew Maguire in the vault again?

They do have nukes though...

Why do I get the feeling another block sale is coming tomorrow or later in the week 😭

It’s often after a day of price overperformance.

The volume has been huge over the last month or so. A few days of 60-70m and most days it's around 10m or more.

Very early this year and much of last the average trading volume was 4-5m per day.

either there is another **** sandwich to come re production and those in the know are exiting, or it's pinned in a holding pattern to allow short covering sub-13p.

The Financial Times reports that traders bet more than half a billion dollars on oil futures in the 15 minutes before President Trump announced yesterday that the US had held two days of “very good and productive conversations” with Iran.

Analysis of Bloomberg data shows that 6,200 Brent and West Texas Intermediate oil contracts were traded between 6.49am and 6.50am New York time (10:49 and 10:50 GMT) – just 15 minutes before Trump’s announcement, the FT said.

The FT said the high volume of trade so close to Trump’s announcement has raised eyebrows in the financial world. It also follows a slew of recent high-profile betting on sites such as Polymarket that have been timed extraordinarily close to major White House decisions – raising questions of insider trading.

Early days in the conflict but HBR used to be 500p at these oil and gas prices 😡

Portfolio Power always ramps at the top of each cycle, he was doing it back in early 2023 when FRES was 900p and saying it would double very soon. Of course it then halved...

Silver down $32 and gold plummeted $1,200 since war started...So much for safe havens!

The trading stock masquerading as a value play strikes again.

They bid it up over the last few days to allow another big offload by Linda’s mates.

13p at $113 Brent…Wow 😆
