and we're solidly above 79

in case nobody noticed
the spread between brent and wti has widened to $8
a lot of oil being produced from US shale but infrastructure bottleneck limiting the amount of oil reaching refineries and export terminals causing inventory buildup
Brent doesn't have that problem
rest of the world more worried about Iran and Venezuela
possible
sentiment is bullish (OECD inventory below 5 year average, Iran and Venezuela)
the only thing to counter the bullishness is US shale oil production (already 10 million barrels per day)
if the US can only export their oil fast enough they can bring down the price of Brent
and dubai crude is doing 74.60 now.
we are just $6 away from the $80 threshold average for which excise tax increase for fuels will be rolled back.
to qualify, dubai crude has to average $80 from oct 2018 to dec 2018 and excise tax for fuels will be automatically rolled back.
$80 dubai looks probable at the rate oil rose the past 45 days .
but a correction shouldn't be far away.
Two Dollar bump equals to a peso fuel hike?...

profit taking
i think speculators in oil futures are now disconnected from reality
physical traders (the guys who actually buy and sell physical crude oil, not paper barrels) say there's plenty of oil right now

My view this week
Downside presssure on brent
Geopolitical risk already priced in
Unlikely anything new comes up to surprise to the upside
