"Raw data' such as ... ?"
Auson - You can start with China crude imports, inventory stockpiling, factory/manufacturing activity and Gulf state stockpiles. I know you thought it was a clever retort but all you've demonstrated is that you gambled, ahem I mean "invested", in an oiler without knowing what data you need to actually make the investing decision. Stick to index funds.
Not sure why you're copying and pasting waffle about air travel either, aviation accounts for 7% of global oil demand. Of course it matters, but not THAT much.
The "SPR is running empty and they need to refill urgently" narrative has been plastered all over the freebie sites for the last 18 months. You fell for it hook, line and sinker. Yes it's depleted but the Biden Admin started selling at >$100, they'll refill it as and when they need to at much lower prices. It's been lower than the current 383 million barrels in the past too. If they're not worried about it then why are you?
