Post Oil Spike (9 Mar 2026) Market Impact
« on: Today at 09:48:40 am »
At the Opening Bell...

Oil- WTI $99.51/bbl
VIX- 31.18
Gold- $5106/oz

DJIA Down 634
NASDAQ- Down 260
FTSE (England) Down 1%
CAC (France) Down 2%
DAX (Germany) Down 1%

Far East had a bit deeper losses

Far better than I expected.  When it shot up to $116/bbl last night, I expected some panic selling of equities.

Seems to pendulum of speculation went to far.  One factor still out there, that I don't think the oil markets have filtered out yet, is cost of repair, and impact of extended down time in middle east facilities.  Remains to be seen if other areas can ramp up enough to cover the shortfalls.

Moving into the last hour of trading, the DJIA is down 350, while S&P and Nasdaq are flat.  International markets are being hit harder than US markets today.

Our economy is showing some resilience.  I expected at least a 1000 pt. loss today.

Maybe the media is overplaying the damage to infrastructure in the ME.

Now the DJIA is down less than 100 points.

I noticed that strikes seem to bee primarily on storage facilities. These are easier and cheaper to rebuild than the actual refining aspects of the refinery, but will bring production to a standstill and eliminate existing stocks.

It is the least (long term) painful way to deny the IRDG fuel, and still leave an infrastructure that can be recovered in the future when the theocracy falls.

Attacks haven't been on production facilities, nor individual wells, as far as is being told. The delivery portion of the industry is what is being targeted. While all oil industry targets are soft targets, it appears production and the actual refining equipment is being left off the target list. (Unlike Iraq, blowing wellheads all over Kuwait in anticipation it would take far longer to put those wells back into production.)

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
