The echo of the Suleymani assassination: oil and gold rise in price against the backdrop of the alleged war

71

The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps launched rockets at US bases in Iraq. In this regard, the American president, according to some reports, intends to appeal to the people.

As two officials told CNN on condition of anonymity, D. Trump’s speech will take place on January XNUMX and will be broadcast from the Oval Office. Speech time is not indicated. However, the same CNN later informed its viewers that Donald Trump was not going to appeal to the nation.



Apparently, instead of a speech, the president decided so far to confine himself to a meeting. This has already been convened: after the Pentagon officially recognized the fact of the attack on the facilities, Donald Trump urgently called for Minister of Defense Esper and Secretary of State Pompeo.

Recall, the IRGC carried out dozens of missile attacks on two US military air bases in Iraq. Operation “Martyr Suleimani” was announced. The attacks were "addressed" to those military personnel who, according to the IRGC, were involved in the death of General Suleymani. As a result of the attack, fighters at the Ein al-Assad air base were damaged (the exact number of damaged or destroyed aircraft is not yet known). It is assumed that there are human casualties.

Land-to-ground missile strikes are far from everything Iran took on January 8th.

According to the NBC News bureau in Tehran, referring to the Iranian state media, after a missile strike, Iranian air force fighters entered Iraqi space.

The situation is becoming critical: Washington recognizes that Iran’s actions could be the beginning of a war.

Oil markets reacted violently to the situation. WTI prices jumped noticeably on the morning of January 8. Analysts directly link the rise in oil prices with Iranian strikes on US facilities.

At four o’clock in the morning of Moscow time, the cost of WTI crude oil futures (February) rose by more than 4 percent.

The price of gold also rose. According to exchange reports, the price of a troy ounce of precious metal on COMEX in just over an hour increased by thirty-five dollars (an increase of 2,1%). Such a high cost (exceeding $ 1.600) is noted by observers for the first time since 2013.

Two days earlier, the price of oil broke through a six-month high. The reason was the assassination of General Suleymani in Baghdad.

As for the price of Brent, the price of this grade of oil exceeded seventy dollars per barrel for the first time since May 2019.

At the same time, a few days ago, shares of the largest company Saudi Aramco fell sharply. This is also associated with the death of Kassem Suleimani. On January 5, on the Riyadh exchange, the shares of this oil company collapsed by 1,7%.

            Dear Alexei, well, what the hell are we going to break spears now?
            There is a Central Bank policy that is not approved by the number of economists and politicians.
            I (on some issues, by no means everyone) are closer to criticizing the economic policy of the government, and this is not at all grandfather Zu and not, God forgive me, Bulk.
            I strongly doubt that you are, well, a fan of Medvedev / Oreshkin / Nabiullina, well, and Kudrin (just to the point). And in general, do their fans exist in Russia?

            Alexey, he wrote everything correctly. We have a surplus budget, the babos are above the roof, but everything that was received in excess of the $ 40 per barrel of oil budgeted for some reason is not invested in the country's economy, but is stored in funds and transferred into securities, and at the same time it is confirmed that the money is retired no, there is no economy of its own for investing, there is no national projects, and they say they need another wave of privatization, so that they can scribble some money and not accelerate inflation. The government has money like a makhorka fool, but at the same time the economy is suffocating from the inability to receive long-term loans at a low interest rate. Over the hill, the terms of the loan were cut off, and "native" banks tear up such a percentage, which obviously makes any enterprise unprofitable. So Viktor Petrovich did not come up with anything. hi

    Everything is logical. Who needs a war, and who believes that since shale turbidity is unprofitable even forcibly up to 70 bucks per barrel, and once further it is no longer possible to pump it into feeds, and letting normal raw materials from them to the refineries means a small and victorious one. But even an odd thing seems to me that it’s not small in the end, and it doesn’t portend anything victorious for the USA ...
