Hi LW,
Yes, I have been watching those after market trades closely.
FWIW and just my opinion, someone is building a stake at the expense of shorter action, Coronavirus, (Eg, BP, today saying demand could be impacted in 2020 by a significant amount re China etc, go Google that) TLF diatribe, ie a potential lowball takeover perhaps? but I think that risk is much less until such time, that the EPS fully confirms the FB concept and HUR have laid out their strategy for 2020 for which we all await.
Having said that, we also have OPEC whom the Saudi's in particular will not just sit idly by and allow a massive Oil price drop. OPEC members are notorious for not sticking to agreed terms as output is basically a Gentleman's agreement from what I have read.
Saudi are the gatekeepers, and are ready to reduce output by up to a million barrels a day.
So, maybe this why we have seen some larger trades in anticipation of a rise in Brent over the coming weeks, and so increase in HUR's Sp?
