“ The consensus is not enough, although am sure the big traders/hedge funds love it as it gives them opportunity to make money from swings as they big up the deal then trash the result.
I think Opec and Russia got it right though, gives the impression they want to help whilst still crushing shale as $21 WTI on the market will be more like $16/17 at the well head and no doubt as storage fills, nobody will want to take it.
Don’t get me wrong, this is terrible for the future, lack of investment and shut in production, should these low prices continue will come home to roost, survivors will reap rewards, but for now it just looks bad.
On a positive note, Trump will not be able to bale out shale, at least not in a meaningful way as he would be going totally against Russia and Opec after begging them to do something.
Oil will rebound without a doubt, just how high will depend on how long we stay in the $20-$30 range.
Buying op tomorrow me thinks. Good luck whether you are in, out or just watching the show!
