When are they opening up the Strait then and waving everyone through? Friday night after the US agrees to their 10 demands including removing all US bases from the ME... Or after they agree to pay for all the Iranian infrastructure that's been damaged, or maybe when Israel agrees to stop flattening Lebanon?

It will take weeks to fully recalibrate ME oil production as it's all switched off, Qatars huge LNG facility will take 3 years minimum to repair, apart from that we're all good to go...

Something smells off with all this, Trump and his buddies probably filling their boots for his next announcement...Oil down nearly 20% the market is incredibly optimistic imo

Trump couldn’t give a **** about the average American, he’ll leave them destitute if he can line his own pockets

I certainly won’t be buying on any wider market rise

Trump is completely untrustworthy, a possibility he may pull out in 3 weeks what good is that now? As said that isn’t solving the energy crisis he has now created.

Trump already telegraphed that troops will be deployed, god knows where the OP is heading over the next month.

Sadly the world is now run by idiots, who have their own greed and self interest at heart.

Eds brother David is an advisor to Giant Ventures who invest heavily in green projects in the UK/Europe

Just saying

‘UK aircraft carriers not very good, toys compared to ours’ thanks for that Donald. He’s also rubbished NATO

I think it’s safe to say US will not be honouring any defence pacts, NATO or otherwise. We are on our own

Invade the islands is my guess, try and hold or blockade Kharg Island which may erupt into a vicious battle or possibly both sides may just hold position and there will be a mexican standoff

Either way the markets won’t like it Monday, I’ll continue to hold oil stocks for now though

I have a horrible feeling they will be going in over the weekend, this won’t end well

Watch for large trades on Friday before Trump announces his ‘deal’ is off

China won’t take Taiwan at the moment, the amount of business coming their way due the US hostile behaviour over the last 12 months is more than they could have dreamed. They will stay quiet and collect the rewards

He’s gone in front of the cameras reiterating talks with Iran are going splendidly

It’s obvious to me now, he is opening playing the markets. The ‘5 day talks’ announced early Monday will coincide with close on Friday roughly when air and ground troops will be arriving ready for deployment over the weekend.

Rumours in the US media that the US might be sending 3000 paratroopers to the ME, that’s on top of the 5000 marines already on their way

My god someone impeach the man ffs

Oman oil changing hands at $150dpb ? That won’t be changing much for the foreseeable, even if this war ends tomorrow.

I won’t be selling any for a while

Trump not mentioned the Strait of Hormuz, he’s lost interest in that for now…so that remains closed

Iran stating no talks have taken place, why would they need to lie? They have nothing to gain, they can set out their demands if talks are happening

Trump is trying to lie his way out the back door as he has no idea how to exit without looking a prize plank.

It doesn’t feel like the market is acknowledging how big a crisis this is developing into, many analysts are saying this is the biggest energy crisis the World has ever seen. It doesn’t look good even if Trump wakes up tomorrow and calls a victory, he is not in control

Another issue is in the past there were always qualified adults in the room to put a strategy together to solve the Worlds economic problems, we have none involved with this it seems. Hopefully this can de-escalate because this situation suits no one going forward

Imo unless Trump de-escalates from those comments overnight

They hide behind the fact that the UK drilling/producing more wouldn’t effect high prices, that is correct but it would shield us from actually running out.. It’s not even oil I’m overly concerned about but the UK is very reliant on gas used in over 80% of households yet successive governments have done nothing to increase production/storage levels now here we are, completely vulnerable to a shipping lane 1000s of miles away, and a narcissist in the White House

And that warrants a 6% drop in SP apparently, joke

A purchase of new assets using new shares at a set price as part of the transaction

As I said just wildly speculating, but AA has put similar deals together in the past

SP seems stuck in £2.65/2.70 holding pattern for a few days, wondering if a cash and share deal is being brokered in the background? Just guessing, hope we can creep up to £3 soon

Hopefully red Ed has some extra solar panels on order, looks like we’re going to need them

Incompetent government running our Energy supply in to the ground, these people need to be held accountable
