Where is oil heading to?

Re: Where is oil heading to?

Top post, Saleem bhai. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful analysis. You covered most points. One missing - storage is at nearly full capacity in land. And tankers in the ocean are also filling up rapidly.

Re Nat gas, I agree it is cheap in the US. But it is my understanding in developing countries Nat gas may not be as cheap. Hence for electricity production, displacement of oil by Nat gas may be confined to the US.

China slowdown is bound to reverse sometime. And as Africa and other emerging markets attain their potential, they may pick up some of the slack in global growth.

With cheaper fuel, in the US people are starting to buy gas guzzlers. That could be a catalyst.

Overall the bottom is near. Who knows exactly where it is. Probably 26 set last Wednesday, which our recent Hall of Famers called hand over fist.
