Saudi Arabia Displays Fragments From Attack Site It Says ‘Unquestionably’ Prove Iranian Involvement
Saudi Arabia said Wednesday that strikes on its oil infrastructure that suspended half of the kingdom’s oil production were “unquestionably” sponsored by Iran, adding that the strikes originated from the north. It displayed what it said were fragments of the arsenal of 18 drones and seven cruise missiles that devastated two facilities in the country’s east, knocking out half the kingdom’s oil production. “The attack was launched from the north and unquestionably sponsored by Iran,” defense ministry spokesman Turki al-Maliki told a press conference.

Oil Jumps In Record Trading After Attack On Saudi Facilities
.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Oil ended nearly 15% higher on Monday, with Brent logging its biggest jump in over 30 years amid record trading volumes, after an attack on Saudi Arabian crude facilities cut the kingdom’s production in half and fanned fears of retaliation in the Middle East.
The attack heightened uncertainty in a market that had become relatively subdued in recent months and now faces the loss of crude from Saudi Arabia, traditionally the world’s supplier of last resort. A gauge of oil-market volatility hit its highest level since December of last year, and trading activity showed investors expect higher prices in coming months. “The attack on Saudi oil infrastructure came as a shock and a surprise,” said Tony Headrick, an energy market analyst at St. Paul, Minnesota, commodity brokerage CHS Hedging LLC. “I think the tables abruptly shifted in the way of the supply outlook and caught many who were short off-guard.” Two sources briefed on Aramco’s operations said a full return to normal production “may take months.” “I don’t think there really is enough to offset what is going to be offline here for a period of time, and you don’t even know the quantity of time,” said Joe McMonigle, energy analyst at Hedgeye Research.

It Will Take Saudis Months To Return To Normal Output Volumes – Before Then USABLE OIL WILL RUN OUT!
.
A RETALIATORY ATTACK ON IRAN IS IMMINENT!
Before this is the worlds biggest oil complexes
This is after 20 hybrid cruise missile drone “TRUMP projectiles” South Korea tested and supplied to IRAN!
DUBAI (Reuters) – Saudi Aramco’s full return to normal oil production volumes “may take months”, two sources briefed on the company’s operations said on Monday, after attacks on Saudi oil plants knocked out more than half of the country’s output. “It is still bad,” one source said.
On Sunday, an industry source briefed on the developments told Reuters that Saudi Arabia’s oil exports will continue as normal this week as the kingdom taps into stocks from its large storage facilities, but that Aramco may have to cut exports later if the outage in output continued for long.

Saudi Arabia Was Attacked. Turmoil Is Coming To The Oil Markets.

Saudi Energy Giant Aramco Ready For Two-Stage Market Launch
.
ABU DHABI (AFP) SAUDI ENERGY GIANT ARAMCO IS READY FOR A TWO-STAGE IPO BUT THE TIMING IS UP TO THE GOVERNMENT, ITS CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAID TUESDAY, FLAGGING A POSSIBLE FOREIGN LISTING AS PART OF THE OFFERING.
Aramco is “ready” for the giant stock market debut but the timing is a “government decision”, Amin Nasser told reporters on the sidelines of the World Energy Congress. “One of the primary listings is going to be local but we are also ready for listing outside.” Nasser’s remark came after the Wall Street Journal reported last week that Aramco was considering a domestic debut and a subsequent international listing – possibly in Tokyo. Aramco has said it plans to float around five percent of the state-owned company in 2020 or 2021 in what could potentially be the world’s biggest stock sale. It aims to raise up to $100 billion based on a $2 trillion valuation of the company, but investors have long debated whether Aramco is really worth that much.

Tokyo Stock Exchange Emerges As International Frontrunner For Saudi’s Aramco IPO
.
LONDON – Saudi Arabian Oil Co., the world’s largest oil firm, is considering conducting its initial public offering in two stages, with the Tokyo Stock Exchange emerging as the international frontrunner, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday in its online edition.
The state oil giant, known as Aramco, is planning to split the world’s largest IPO into two stages: debuting a portion of its shares on the Saudi stock exchange later this year followed by an international offering in 2020 or 2021, the U.S. business daily said, citing people familiar with the plans. “The company is leaning toward Tokyo as the venue for the second phase of its proposed plan” as political uncertainty in Britain and China reduced the appeal of London and Hong Kong’s markets, the report said. The corporate value of Aramco is believed to be $2 trillion.

China To Impose 5% Tariff On U.S. Crude From Sept. 1: State Council
.
Singapore — China’s plans to levy 5% tariff on U.S. crude imports from September 1 caused a drop in benchmark crude prices Friday, jeopardized seaborne U.S. crude shipments heading to China and limiting buying interest in U.S. crude from Chinese refiners. BULLSHIT!
Here is where they make an asshole out of you. Before the announcement, Crude NY was trading at $55.50 a barrel. It fell to a low of $53.25 a barrel on Friday after the announcement. A drop of $2.25 (we issued a buy on the low in Brent) closing at 53.97 down $1.42 for the day. So if we take U.S. crude at $53.97 NY closing price and add the 5% tariff, you get $56.66 a barrel duty paid. Well within the range oil has been trading at lately. Now let’s suppose the Chinese buy Saudi oil to replace U.S. crude. So let’s say you’re sucked in by the bullshit because they made you stupid and you believe, OH my GOD the US oil market is doomed. Well the fucked up logic goes like this. The Chinese, the largest importers of oil in the world won’t buy U.S. oil because of the $2.69 cent duty. The only supplier in volume is the Saudis. And Saudi oil is trading at $60.13 a barrel. So that means U.S. crude is still cheaper duty paid by… $3.69 barrel. WTF, don’t let them make a fool out of you. Oh, another thing they forgot to tell you. U.S. oil exports are minuscule and the Chinese at best bought only 10% of their oil from U.S. suppliers… DAH!!!!!

Negative-Yielding Bond Supply Hits All-Time High
.
NEGATIVE YIELDS ARE JUST ANOTHER TRICK THEY COOKED UP TO FOOL THE FOOLS AND TAKE THEIR MONEY! WANNA HEAR THE REALLY GOOD PART? IF YOU’RE AMONG THE 1 IN A BILLION THAT UNDERSTANDS THIS EVIL TRICK, YOU CAN TAKE THEIR MONEY. AND GET THIS, I PROVED IT BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE DONE THIS PAST WEEK.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The amount of bonds carrying negative yields increased to an all-time peak of $13.2 trillion on Wednesday, up $1.6 trillion or 13.4% from a month earlier in the wake of a dramatic rally in bond markets around the world, J.P. Morgan said on Thursday.
Investors’ stampede into mainly sovereign bonds started a week ago when U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to slap a 10% tariff on $300 billion worth of Chinese imports in a bid to pressure Beijing to agree to a trade deal. Sixteen of the 21 developed countries J.P. Morgan tracks saw their government debt yields hit record lows over the past month, J.P. Morgan analysts said. Most of the increase in negative-yielding bonds occurred in Europe. German yields across all maturities, worth $1.2 trillion, have sunk into negative territory. Negative-yielding euro zone government bonds grew by 15.6% to $5.2 trillion with an average 28 basis-point fall in yields, they said.

Trump Adds More China Tariffs To Pressure FED

Trump tweeted:
“…As usual, Powell let us down, but at least he is ending quantitative tightening, which shouldn’t have started in the first place – no inflation. We are winning anyway, but I am certainly not getting much help from the Federal Reserve!”
What the Market wanted to hear from Jay Powell and the Federal Reserve was that this was the beginning of a lengthy and aggressive rate-cutting cycle which would keep pace with China, The European Union and other countries around the world.

Oil Short-Selling Surges, I Wanna Buy More Than Ever!
.
THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED, OIL UNDER HEDGE FUND SELLING PRESSURE DROPPED DOWN TO $40 A BARREL AND AS USUAL THEY WERE WRONG AND OIL SURGED TO $70 A BARREL.
Hedge funds have boosted their bets by 46% that West Texas Intermediate crude will fall according to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data. Their selling this time has driven oil to under $50 a barrel this past June. It has started to rebound now at $60 a barrel. And we believe this time as hedge funds wipe out again we will get $100 a barrel oil. And for the cherry on top, WHEN there is war in the Middle East we will get over $200 a barrel oil. This is the stuff million dollar trades are made of. And not a moment too soon!

The offers made by U.S. President Donald Trump to negotiate a new nuclear agreement with Iran are sincere, U.S. Special Representative for Iran Brian Hook said on Tuesday. “Those who sort of question the sincerity of the President’s invitations, I would just point to the fact that he’s now met twice with [North Korean leader] Kim Jong-Un”, Hook said an event hosted by the Axios media outlet in Washington. Donald Trump has repeatedly said he is open for talks with the Iranian leadership without any preconditions.
