They have the press singing like a choir in unison everyday, cheering for their madness.

On the exchanges, shouldn't Brent Crude be renamed Biden Crude (or Brandon)?

And wouldn't it be a gas to see how Biden handles a question that contains the phrase "fungible commodity"?

“There is little left to do for the White House and other decision-makers than sit and wait to see how the oil price game will play out.”

Incorrect headline:

"White House Helpless As Oil Prices Climb Higher"

White House Useless As Oil Prices Climb Higher

There fixed it. You're welcome

Helpless my A$$. All this lame brained occupier of the oval office has to do is open up the Keystone Pipe line and problem solved.

Not sure how the Founding Fathers would have even dealt with this, but there has to be SOME remedy to a press that is 100% aligned to only one political viewpoint.

In practice, it becomes no different than the forced-media-viewpoint of the Soviet Union.

There must be a remedy, I just don't know what it is. You'd think free market forces would do the job. They haven't, but you'd think they would.

Just wait until wage and price controls. We will be repeating Jimmy Carter all over again. Better start planting gardens.

Yahoo laying it on thick again. No, the White House is not “helpless”, it’s stupid, malign, and making policy based on fairy dust and academic “keep oil high so everyone will buy electric cars and solar panels” crap. This stuff didn’t just happen, it was caused.

President Biden could also shut down the pipeline in Michigan.
Why should the U.S. be energy independent? Only President Trump and MAGA supporters liked U.S. energy independence that we saw under the former President.

The White House is not helpless. It well could back up some of the stupid moves they made like stopping the Keystone Pipeline and drilling ssites they shut down. But they will not because they are democrats. They do not have the smarts to correct their mistakes.

Rationality no longer has a part in these markets. Under valued at -$35 and overvalued at $82.

<>like plenty of analysts has explained, oil prices are influenced by global rather than local factors, even a major oil-producing country such as the United States.<>

IOW, outside of poor editing, closure of the Keystone pipeline made no difference.

A Carter 2.0 Malaise Speech is just around the corner.

The alarming thing is that's not the only industry at risk from such skulduggery as you described. Our entire economy is set to be distorted if not wrecked outright from all the tampering they have in mind.

It was a feature, not an unintended consequence...
