Why Oil Prices Are Falling

There’s no question that the oil markets were... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy Why Oil Prices Are Falling Keith Kohl | Jun 06, 2024 Most investors are probably wondering why oil prices have been falling recently. I get it, I really do. Earlier this week, we talked about the turning market sentiment on its [outlook for oil stocks]( as crude prices sold off sharply. What we saw was the market reacting badly to the OPEC+ meeting earlier this week, with sellers running for the nearest exit they could find.  Let me tell you this then — the market is wrong. I know, I know... markets are never wrong, only opinions. They are precisely where they should be at any given moment. I won’t argue quips, but I will take advantage of those infallible markets when I see them. That’s why I’m buying oil today, and so should you. Here’s why… Uranium Is Surging: Where to Invest Now The price for uranium is skyrocketing. It hasn’t been this high in more than 16 years. [TCN AI Secret Fuel Chart]( But this is only the beginning. Because demand is outstripping supply. Utilities are scrambling to secure as much fuel as they possibly can. As the American Nuclear Society puts it, "[The U.S. is] on the verge of a crisis." The last time we were in a uranium supply crunch, investors could’ve pocketed gains as huge as 8,200%. One little-known company from the Midwest is in the perfect position to ride this new bull run to stunning highs. Alex Koyfman just published an urgent presentation on this unique opportunity. Access is instant and free.

In fact, there were a number of events that could have taken place that would’ve immediately drained the bullish feeling right out of me. But one thing is for certain, it wasn’t the OPEC+ decision that would do it. Again, we [talked]( about this last time, and I’m not convinced it was the mind-blowing event that changed the global supply picture going forward. Remember, the Saudis are not aggressively gunning for $100/bbl oil like most people think. They’re perfectly content with oil in the $80-90/bbl range. But you can sure as hell bet they’re going to defend prices as they dip into the low $70s. My point is that the gradual easing of those production cuts will never occur in a low-price environment. The cuts, which total around 3.66 million barrels per day, will remain in effect through 2025 as the group takes a ‘wait and see’ approach. There’s more you should be focusing on than just fantasies of OPEC+ barrels flooding the market a year from now. The latest EIA weekly oil numbers showed an interesting story. While analysts were expecting to see crude inventories start falling, the EIA reported a surprise build of 1.2 million barrels in our oil stockpiles. But again, the devil is in the details here. I don’t think this report was as bearish as most believed, nor did crude deserve the sell-off that took place. The most glaring point that stuck out immediately was the return of the mysterious adjustment number. For those of you that haven’t come across this previously, the EIA posted another large adjustment to crude oil supply; this week it was 466,000 barrels per day. [oil supply eia] If you’re confused as to where this oil is coming from, get in line. The EIA has been notoriously obscure with this figure, and it’s certainly not a [new phenomenon.]( That’s nearly half a million barrels per day adding to the surprising build we saw. Keep in mind that this occurred during a period when refinery throughput reached 17.1 million barrels per day.  Perhaps the market can only be wrong when it gets clouded numbers? The "Horseshoe Well" Is Set to Reshape the $4 Trillion Oil Industry A new drilling technique is sending shock waves through the American oil patch. The Journal of Petroleum Technology says this revolutionary method is "a design unlike anything most have seen in the shale sector before"... And it’s set to kick off a wave of profits that could make the fracking boom look like child’s play. [I’ve documented all of my findings here for you to check out.]( Meanwhile, U.S. domestic output according to the EIA remained flat around 13.1 million barrels per day. More important, however, is how our demand is shaping up. Go ahead and take a look at the EIA’s latest figures on the amount of products supplied: [oil supply eia] Even though total petroleum demand rose to 20.5 million barrels per day, gasoline and diesel demand were still weak. The question right now is whether gasoline demand will start to pick up momentum as we head through the summer months. There is another curveball thrown in a potential bullish rally for oil prices — good, old, geopolitical volatility. I know most people’s attention has shifted away from the Russia-Ukraine war currently raging, but we saw something happen this week that we haven't seen before. For the first time, Ukraine used U.S. weaponry to launch a strike inside Russia. Up until now, Ukrainian forces were only allowed to use U.S. arms for defensive purposes. It turns out that President Biden lifted that restriction last week, and Ukrainian forces took full advantage of it. The question now is how Putin will take this new development. He warned that using Western weapons to make strikes inside Russia was a dangerous step and sees it as direct involvement in the war. If you’re like me and you’ve been looking for a buying opportunity to present itself, I can’t think of a better time to take advantage of an oversold oil market. Until next time, [Keith Kohl Signature] Keith Kohl [[follow basic]Check us out on YouTube!]( [EAC ICYMI Header]( Retire Rich With Biden'sNew Stimulus Program! Saving for retirement is becoming an impossible goal, and more people are working well past the age of 65 than ever before. According to Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, an investment management giant: "[Retirement has become] a much harder proposition than it was 30 years ago. And it’ll be a much harder proposition 30 years from now." But thankfully, all of that is about to change thanks to a 19-page secret memo that President Biden just commissioned... One that’s directing the government to send a form of "stimulus payments" to the mailboxes of Americans during these difficult times. I call them "Stimulus Stipends," and they give you the opportunity to claim up to $7,882 every quarter — for life! Forbes recently declared that you can "retire rich" with "Stimulus Stipends"... And Yahoo Finance reports that they’re the fastest way to "retire early." So if you’re ready to start collecting these payouts, courtesy of the U.S. government...
