Since when is an MoU a deal? Iran getting paid while Israel already states their intention to crash the party. The SPR will be refilled, because it has to, under the terms of the releases.

Retail proxy for front month WTI with roll. Chest thump warranted on a -17% drawdown after a near double?
Oh one more thing -- the short interest on this $1 bn ETF is 145% of units outstanding.
145%.
So retail is absurdly net short through an ETF that was meant to give retail long exposure to the front month future.
Glad retail could join institutions on that side of the boat. I don't like "contentious" trades (I prefer "invisible", like nickel in November), but I do like to know that a lot of people are going to be wrong in a consensus position that the market is not really confirming. The chest thump makes me wanna add a Cheer Hedge on top (cheer hedge = @donnelly_brent creation).
