Call me conspiracy theorist, but it feels as if Trump's talking about the diesel ban is all about sending a message to EU/UK: release diesel from your SPRs (and stop bidding up the market to beef up said reserves) and talk to Zelenskyy. Or else I close your diesel lifeline.

COLUMN: Rumor has it that China, a key factor stopping oil prices from going ballistic, is again buying lots of crude. In reality, Beijing is still importing significantly less than before the war started. What’s changing is *where* it’s buying.

@JavierBlas that’s good but their crude is absolute dogshit and needs special machinery to be turned into anything nearly as light as gasoline, which of course is very costly and makes many if not most US refineries incapable of handling it in a way that makes any gas at all.

@JavierBlas Wow, that hardly makes a dent in the 15,000,000 barrels that went through Hormuz before the war.

@JavierBlas An export ban on diesel would cause a complete international disaster, the US is already on its way to becoming an international pariah under Trump and this would seal the deal.

@JavierBlas I don't buy that, but it doesn't matter: Either they are right and the SPR will last a little longer or they are wrong and it will run out sooner.
Either way it spells big trouble for the global economy.

U.S. President Trump on Venezuelan oil deal (very few details, although it sounds like the deal is via U.S. private sector, rather than the American government itself) https://t.co/xmFKlN43r0

@JavierBlas It's the result of bearish positioning, but I'd say we're pretty close to a bottom in WTI.
