OPEC, Russia and other oil-producing countries, collectively known as OPEC+, have reached a tentative deal to cut oil output by 9.7 million barrels a day due to the coronavirus pandemic.

President Trump confirmed Sunday that a deal had been reached. The countries’ delegations are set to hold an emergency meeting Sunday evening to finalize talks, Azerbaijan’s energy minister said, telling CNBC the meeting will be chaired by the Russian and Saudi energy ministers.

The OPEC countries have ALWAYS cheated on each other. I don’t know why everybody didn’t agree and then pump whatever they wanted, as they have in the past. I’m guessing there was too much testosterone at the bargaining table.
Jump on that futures market tomorrow boys. Should gap up big time at open.
Someone will cheat and then they will all cheat.
Futures up about 5%.
I’m thinking we’ll still have cheap gas.
Yep. Oil inventories are too high.

We are averaging about 12 miles per week or about 2 gallons a month.
“Jump on that futures market tomorrow boys. Should gap up big time at open.”
Futures are open now.
Lol, yeah I almost forgot we are under house arrest.
My wife found a rural county 45 miles away that had only 2 CV cases so we drove there to the WM and Aldi’s.
“Lol, yeah I almost forgot we are under house arrest.”
Took the wife’s SUV shopping last week. Will fire up my beast this week.
Forgot about electronic trading tonight on CL ... hit session low just before 19:00 and now is trading up 1.33. That’s $1,330 of profit for one contract and it is still rising.
Yeah, just check - wasn’t sure given Easter. The pit opens tomorrow at 9. Electronic is going full bore.
Gonna bump the market.
I’m glad I got cheap heating oil last week.
