Oil prices go down again

105

Today at 11:00 the Brent crude oil exchange rate amounted to $ 25,79 per barrel and continued to decline. By 12:00 a barrel dipped to $ 25,50. As you know, the fall in prices for "black gold" is usually followed by the weakening of the ruble against the dollar and the euro.

July Brent futures also declined by almost 3 percent, reaching $ 25,68 per barrel. When previous trading closed, the figure was $ 26,44.



From the beginning of May it was expected to stop the fall in oil prices and even, possibly, some growth. But instead, prices continued to decline. Experts believe that this is due to concerns about the imminent start of a new round of US-Chinese trade war. Such assumptions are based on a statement by US President Donald Trump about the likely increase in import duties on Chinese goods. In this way, Washington could punish Beijing for not informing the international community about the dangers of the spread of coronavirus.

Analysts at Dow Jones believe that such a move will negatively affect the oil market and lead to a further decrease in the cost of oil.

Many experts believe that oil prices are more affected not by reduced production, but by overcrowding due to lower oil storage demand. In particular, Phil Flynn of Price Futures Group shares this opinion:

The planned reduction in production will be a record, but experts do not forget about the huge excess of oil in the world market, which limits the price increase.

        Until the pandemic passes

        The point is not at all in the "pandemic", but in the general global crisis, which was already predicted at the end of the 20th year. "Pandemic" is a kind of game in which practically all the developed countries of the world have joined and it very conveniently fell on the general accumulated problems, now there is something to write off on. The point is not at all in the eternal contradictions of capitalism and problematic distortions in the world economy, but in some kind of virus. As far as oil prices are concerned, I think the question is being overblown. Until financial speculators play enough on their exchanges, this mess will continue.

          These guys have a bottomless appetite ... to satisfy it, you need a serious conflict like a world war that temporarily resolves the contradictions of capitalism ... how systemic contradictions of capital will be resolved without war now I can’t even imagine

            No one can imagine. As it was before (world wars), it is no longer possible. All major players, now owners of nuclear weapons. We will see. I guessed a lot of options. From fighting in remote territories to color revolutions.

                You ask strange questions and mix the soft with the green. "Imperialist" is the label that the Bolsheviks stuck on the First World War. Although the Second World War, in meaning and content, was practically no different. (except for racial ideas). Okay, answer the counter question, what does the USSR have to do with it? Today's global crisis is here and now.

            I am sending you to the history of the first five-year plan.
            Crises bring down prices for industrial products, but commodity prices drop even more.
            The five-year plans were drawn up on the basis of current world prices for grain, timber and other raw materials, because the USSR could not offer any other goods to obtain foreign currency for the purchase of equipment. The Great Depression of 1929 mixed up these plans, which prompted the Soviet leadership to take extremely cruel measures to squeeze out the cheap grain from the peasantry. Hence, the legs of violent collectivization and other "dizziness from success" grow.
            I recommend Shubin's lecture on this topic:

            Tell me, plz, how did global economic crises affect the economy of the USSR?

            1. Great Depression (1929)
            The Stalinist leadership considered a historic chance to purchase the necessary technology from Western firms, especially American and German ones. After overfulfilment of the plan of industrial growth rates for 1928/1929. financial year (23,7%) Stalin demanded (January 1930) to increase them as a whole from 21,5 to 45%. The new leaders of the Council of People's Commissars (V. Molotov instead of Rykov) and the State Planning Commission (V. Kuybyshev instead of Krzhizhanovsky) took up the revision of the five-year plan. Its indicators were overestimated against the projected figures of the best option for pig iron smelting - 1,7 times, coal and oil production, steel and rolled products - 2 times, and even more - for the production of vehicles.

            up to 85% of the new factory equipment in the first five-year period was installed thanks to purchases of Western technologies. The share of industrial equipment in USSR imports during the first five-year period increased from 23 to 56%, and industrial raw materials decreased from 56,5 to 28%; USSR share in world imports of machinery and equipment jumped to 30% (1931) and then to 50% (1932)!

            In the face of a sharp decline in demand for industrial projects and products in the West, entrepreneurs and engineers, especially American and German, were interested in lucrative orders from the USSR: General Electric, Siemens, AEG - for electrical equipment; Ford Motors - for equipment for car assembly plants in Nizhny Novgorod (since 1932 - Gorky) and Moscow; firm "Arthur McKee" from Cleveland - for the design of the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, etc., etc. in fact, the depression opened the way for the USSR to the "high technologies" of that time

            2. The collapse of the gold standard and bread for export for industrialization:
            The main revenue came in pounds from England, the main importer of Soviet grain, while the main purchases of equipment were made in the United States and Germany in dollars and Reichsmarks. Therefore, the collapse of the gold standard and the devaluation of the pound (1931) dealt a significant blow to the solvency of the USSR, which had lost 1,1 billion currency rubles in foreign trade during the crisis.

            3. Oil crisis 70s:
            After the war in the Middle East broke out in the early 70s, in 1973 a serious global oil crisis began. In this situation, the USSR became the largest supplier of oil and earned a decent amount, which was immediately sent to the development of agriculture and heavy industry. However, already in the late 70s the crisis was resolved and there was a serious outflow of financing from the Soviet economy. The authorities in the USSR clearly did not expect such a large outflow of capital that immediately affected the economic condition of the country.

                In mid-December 1986, the restriction on the share of foreign capital (not exceeding 49%) in domestic enterprises was lifted in the USSR, which was one of the steps to start the official transnationalization of the domestic economy.

                According to the Ministry of Finance of the USSR, only in 1990 was registered 760 joint ventures. And for the previous 3 years, about 2000.
                the total fund of all joint ventures registered in the country was estimated at 1,469 billion rubles.
                With an atom, a foreign partner accounts for approximately 40%. or 590 million rubles, which recalculated at the official rate of 850 million dollars.

                      Thank you for your work. From which I understood that when they began to open joint ventures, then the country began to fall apart. But until 86, as I understand it, there were no investments of capital countries in the economy of the USSR. Actually, joint ventures were the “laundry” that financed and undermined the USSR. But nevertheless, the capital outflow, about which you spoke, is too loud .. investments, apparently, were not large and could hardly have a serious effect on the economy of the USSR.

After that, recovering slightly to 36 dollars per barrel. in 1990, they continued to fall sharply in 1991 ... At the peak of the industry's development in 1980, the USSR’s revenues from oil sales amounted to about $ 3100 per capita, and by 1991 they had fallen by about 2/3 - up to 1050 dollars

        The freight of first-class tankers, with carrying capacities from 345 thousand to 615 thousand barrels, also doubled and reached almost $ 112 thousand per day.

        The freight of super-large tankers (VLCC) with a capacity of up to 2 million barrels fell to $ 167 thousand per day.
        Thus, oil storage costs today from 2,5 to 10 dollars per barrel per month. Despite the fact that only in the USA, the Saudis sent 50 million barrels that they can not sell.

        The volume of oil products stored in tankers reached 72 million barrels. In March, there were only 33,7 million barrels and they were not sold either.

        Against this background, the Saudis are selling oil in Southern Europe at $ 4-6 per barrel. There were days when on the spot the price of Brent oil fell below $ 10, and the SA sold oil at a discount to the standard by $ 10,25. That is, it practically gave away.

        At the same time, the Russian Urals is sold with payment upon loading on board at a price of just under $ 20, on some days selling, which was previously unheard of, is more expensive than the Brent.

        The northern ports operate at full capacity, supplying oil, including to Poland. Now a tanker with 100 tons already paid is going to Gdansk, refuting Warsaw’s refusal of sea oil supplies from Russia.

        And no one today even stutters about selling it with a surcharge. Which is understandable - the negative price for Urals lived for several hours and touched a lot of one hundred thousand barrels, and the prices for American and Middle Eastern oil from minus 38 dollars to plus 12 dangling like snot in an ice hole for weeks.

        This is confirmed by generalized loss reports on the oil fronts. According to Western analytical agencies, Russia lost $ 6 billion in March, the Saudis - 27. SA reserves fell to a minimum of $ 10 billion in 464 years, Russia did not touch gold reserves at all, and the National Welfare Fund increased by 42 s in March more than a billion dollars, accounting for a record 165,38 billion dollars.

        At the same time, Russia’s external debt from the beginning of the year to April 1 decreased by more than 40 billion, and among the Saudis it grew by 20. The processes are going in different directions and bring different results. At current prices in Russia, the delta between the budgeted price of oil in the budget and the real one is $ 23, for the CA - about 65!

        Little of. If Russia is sharply increasing its supplies to China, then the Saudis are not only gradually being squeezed out of this market by us, but they are also losing their traditional customers in the United States - there is nowhere to put their own and Canadian and Mexican ones.

        These are the realities of the oil war on the last day of April. Starting May 1, not only the Saudis, but also the rest of OPEC + members begin to negotiate a reduction of 9.7 million barrels per day, and on May 5, Texas will decide how to save its own production, which gives 48% of all US oil. So far, they are talking about a million reduction only in this state and a ban on the import of Saudi oil.

        These are the numbers today and they testify to the successful offensive of Russia on all oil fronts.

      Soon the whole country will become oil brokers. To a common man, what difference does oil go up or down? The pocket from this will not be filled. It will only lose weight in the era of quarantines and the decline in production.

Troubadour (Trump) affects the price of oil how much and my grandmother is calm! The price of oil NEVER FORMED ON THE MARKET (DEMAND OFFER), but from the US Federal Reserve and the Underground Central Bank of the World. Enough to already lie the people of the world !!!

      It is bad that the Russians from the falling oil prices are almost neither hot nor cold.

      The Bombardier Global 6000 business jet with M-YOIL tail number, used by the head of Rosneft Igor Sechin, flew to Vienna. Starting March 27, Russia, as part of the fight against coronavirus, completely closed its regular and charter international air service. The ban on flights from Russia does not apply only to freight, postal, sanitary and humanitarian transportation. March 30 also closed the borders of Russia. Despite this, on April 20, the plane, allegedly owned by the family of the head of VEB and former Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, flew to Helsinki.

      Today at 11:00 the Brent crude oil exchange rate amounted to $ 25,79 per barrel and continued to decline. By 12:00 a barrel dipped to $ 25,50. As you know, the fall in prices for "black gold" is usually followed by the weakening of the ruble against the dollar and the euro.

      I read one of the interventions by the Royal Duch Shell Executive Director, who stated very reasonably the hypotheses that the petrol industry / oil prices might not recover and decadence. Their analysis showed that the oil er was gone. This is very strong, but the trend for electricity in transport is clear. Just see the epidemic and the crisis as they accelerate or slow it down.
