Oil here, oil there

Fun little tidbit…

Saudi Arabia and Russia keep cutting production of oil, trying to get the price over $100 per barrel.

Yet, the price is still dropping…perks a little, then continues to drop, right now hovering around $73 per barrel.
Why?

The United States is now producing more oil per day than anyone in the history of the world, with Saudi hitting around 12 million per day and Russia at 11.

OPEC has been playing a dangerous game and now they are losing market share. Even some OPEC members are balking at potential production cuts.

This is why America should be all-in supporting Ukraine. It’s the right thing to do AND it makes us stronger. You don’t get that combination every day.
