Oil Rises to October High as Israel Braces for Iranian Attack

  • US and allies believe retaliatory strike by Iran is imminent
  • Brent crude futures rally above $92 a barrel on Friday

++++++++++++++

This was almost inevitable as long as Israel/Netanyahu continues the current behavior, the latest of which was to intentionally provoke Iran by bombing the Iranian consulate, killing 7 key people earlier this month!

Added: The most interesting element to this was Iran telling  Israel, the United States and the world that the attack is coming and WHEN so that Israel and others will be prepared to defend it.

Any guesses on where we open tonight?

Higher at first then, potentially selling off?

Or stay supported?

Crude/Gold and other markets are clearly going to be high risk trades and news driven at times.

Higher on the open, then quickly to  slightly lower, now around unch after 7 minutes.

The market is saying that it already knew this was coming and traded it last week/Friday.

It's early. New news might change in this unpredictable/volatile  environment.

-32c just less than an hour trading. Volume just under 16,000. I don't follow crude volume but that seems on the high side this early. 

RB and HO actually up slightly.  The market has no clue where to go right now but wants to hold risk premium.

Crude is crashing lower, almost -$3. One assumes that the threat of Israel escalating has just dropped greatly.

Israel strike in Iran spiked oil more than 3.50 higher. Still holding much of the gain +2.80 or so.

Where is crude going next? Israel's actions will likely determine much of that.
