Oil prices went down again: experts explained everything again

After several days of growth, the price of oil went down again. If in a week a barrel of Brent “black gold” was trading above the $ 43 mark, now it has again fallen below the psychological mark of $ 40. At the moment, the price is in the range of 39-39,5 units of the American currency.

Immediately there were experts who “explained everything”. Moreover, these are the same people who even 2-3 days ago explained why oil prices were rising and "could soon cross the bar at $ 45."



What is the explanation today?

It is stated that oil went down on Thursday June 11 in connection with a "record increase in US oil reserves and Fed forecasts." This forecast suggests that the US economy may shrink by 6,5 percent this year. This is an unprecedented figure for all recent years.

It is important to note that the American oil brand WTI (West Texas Intermediate) fell in price more than others against this background. The fall was more than 4%.

Experts note that "the risks of lower demand have affected the interest in oil purchases." In addition, a negative effect on oil prices was added by the fact that the US “suddenly discovered” crude oil reserves that grew by 5,7 million barrels per week. This was due to increased volumes of hydrocarbon imports at the time when “Saudi Arabia flooded the market with cheap oil - in March 2020”. Why, then, are they talking about increased reserves only now?

Another reason is called for the fall in oil prices. Forecasters in the United States said that unemployment in the United States in 2020 will reach a record of recent years - 9,3 percent. And this will affect economic performance not only in the United States, but also throughout the world.

      And there was nothing for mattresses to buy even cheaper oil! So they played out, clogging up with oil to the eyeballs: even their own oil is not needed there. I can imagine how the remaining shale companies were sent to the USA!

      It is interesting to see how these experts would justify themselves if they included past forecasts directly in the studio. Or they simply state the facts:
      "... So I stepped into something soft, with an unpleasant smell. Apparently someone left it here, but I'm sure that after walking two kilometers, especially if on the grass, I will get rid of the smell, and the appearance will become almost the same ... "

      - What is your probability of correct forecasts?
      - 45%!

          "Our mass media" don't particularly like to write about this. There was a collapse in oil prices and that the Russian economy did not collapse.

          Citizens' incomes have collapsed since 2014 .. and continue to fall. Unemployment and mortality increased.
          And so that it would finally collapse, it would take oil below $ 40 to last a year .. then the scribe will come quickly .. now it is slowly advancing and it seems to you that everything is normal.
          But what about the export of wheat and other agricultural products

          You forgot to indicate more timber to China .. well, natural resources are mercilessly exported .. this is a fact, but there is no high added value, which means there is not much income from it, and it doesn’t fall into the pocket of citizens ..
          oh still you hate Russia too much

          I love Russia, but I am annoyed by those who are in power now .. and are not yet smart people who do not see facts, but "love with their ears" .. love with their ears is something like a woman's .. let's look at the facts ..
          The population is falling year by year, citizens' incomes are also not growing, production, engineering, science, education, medicine .. everything is deep ...
          You have a strange love for Russia, if such a state of affairs suits you ..

          The success of the agro-industrial complex in each iron was and is.
          But if, let’s say, starting from
          Oil and oil products accounted for almost half of the total value of Russian exports last year - 188,3 billion out of 424,6 billion dollars.
          According to the FCS, the most dynamic articles of Russian non-hydrocarbon exports were vegetable oil (the value of this export grew by 46,6% to $ 2,2 billion), iron ores and concentrates (plus 30,8%, only $ 2,1 billion ), potash fertilizers (plus 15%; $ 2,3 billion), cars (23,6%; $ 1,6 billion). Also, electricity exports significantly increased, an increase of 12,1% to $ 911 million.
          Last year, the total export value of Russian fertilizers (potash, nitrogen and complex) reached $ 8,4 billion.

          But grain quotas can worsen the situation in exports.
          Fuel is almost half the export and difficult to replace.

    Let us explain who has the right to be called an expert (without fools): this is a specialist with specialized education, practical experience, who has undergone special training and is certified as an expert by the expert community. The expert is obliged to regularly conduct examinations. In case of justified doubts in the expert qualification, he is excluded from the expert community. In the Russian Federation, as a result of negative selection, the qualification level of specialists has sharply decreased, and there are practically no experts, so either appointed commissars or impostors act as experts.

It may be difficult to understand, but people's living standards and corporate wealth are interconnected. They either grow together or fall again but together. Without rich corporations there will not be many highly paid jobs, and corporations will not have a profit from a poor population.

              I will not argue. Today, Business Insider has an article that only 25% of Americans believe that capitalism is fair to society. A respected professor from Harvard also wrote about this. So something needs to be changed - the poor are becoming poorer, and the rich are getting richer and this is including the developed Western world. Statistics say that the average class in the USA is getting smaller; its income has not increased over the past 30 years. And in Bulgaria, wealth is growing because it has gone up from a very low level. GDP and everything else will grow, even in 2020, because the level is low for the EU and the economy does not slow down the crisis, but salaries will increase, and factories will open, because it’s just a low salary and it’s profitable to open a plant in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, not in France, Germany or Belgium.

      “If we look at the structure of the cost of one liter of AI-95 in retail, we find that 3/4 of the cost (about 72%) is formed by the state excise tax, VAT and mineral extraction tax (mineral extraction tax) included in it, - argues analyst at Alor Group Alexei Antonov. - We also deduct the expenses of oil refineries (refineries) for refining, transportation, logistics, profit of traders and operators of gas stations. As a result, it turns out that the cost of raw materials, depending on current quotes, since 2019 does not exceed 7%. ”

Workforce has risen in price? No, I think. Raw material? There remains raw materials - but oil is getting cheaper, so our benz is by no means from oil.
