I have always believed that the swings week to week are a function of start times of tankers being loaded or offloaded.
Eg if you start loading a tankers at several ports 6 hours before reporting time or 6 minutes.
Note if it’s only 6 minutes,the other 5 hrs 54 minutes would have been taken up with one tanker departing and a new one being tied up.
It simply displaces the activity into the next reporting window.
So large loss followed by large gain next week.
It’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.
Jezzoo
What’s your time scale.
My thoughts are be aware right now of sell in May.
Last 3 years there has been a top in early May.
If you have time this has been followed by higher highs later.
Been in the same position,usually like to lock in a chunk at an acceptable price ,then take a chance on the rest( a little gamble to see if I can improve on sp.)
I’m sure you know what you are doing.( at least as well as any of us know)
I watch Exxon,Chevro,Bp,Shell in US markets.
What I do notice is they don’t always move in the same direction ( or often as much as each other).
Something BP moves in step with them sometimes it appears to be doing catch up.
Eg one day BP seems to be in favour,more than the other three.
Then a couple of days later when they all fall,BP has further to fall to catch back up.
I suspect it’s rotation between the different companies in the sector.
At this moment in time it’s also a function of who has reported and who is still to report.

The million dollar question.
Are they running flat out and only just managing to maintain the production numbers,in which case at some time possibly soon it comes off its plateau and starts to sink.
Or are they getting better and better at doing it with less rigs, and being very disciplined.
I’m going with the first option but that’s just my opinion ( or guess).
If it’s true OPEC will be very happy
