oil value and sentiment17 Jun 2018 08:43
crl, The oil market is just like AIM shares. Long term is all about fundamental value, short term is about sentiment. Up and down with news and rumours of the day. Even if oil price crashed down the TRIN production cost is so low that it will still pay off debts and make cash.
Most of the analysts of the oil price have been shown to be as fickle as fiddles. They rarely get it right and mostly reflect the sentiment of the day. The most fun popular website is oilprice it produces articles every day that are just clickbait but amusing in the wild swings of opinion and conjecture. My own view as an oil industry person is that the price is likely to stay in the 60s and 70s for the very good reasons of loss of development over the last 4 years. Add a bit of world chaos and it could go much higher.
I am sure TRIN will have another pop up when next production figures are out. News seems to drive it but the the long term trend for the patient is just great.
