While oil had breached this mark before, it’s the first time the futures market closed a day above the magic priceline. The explosion at a refinery in Big Spring, Texas gets the blame. But, doesn’t this show, in the face of oil’s alleged recession concerns driving prices down into the low $90s recently, that the oil market is getting even tighter.
Need I mention the magic phrase, Peak Oil.
Meanwhile, the Street appears to concur that, recession talk aside, inflationary fears are still lurking.
And, with the market finishing over $100/bbl, not just hitting an intraday peak, we’ll see what psychological momentum carries over.
