🚨 CRUDE OIL SHORT SQUEEZE 🚨
Bears are bleeding! 📉🔥
Data shows traders poured a record $977.00 million into the ProShares UltraShort Crude ETF (SCO) in March—the largest inflow since 2008. They bet heavy on a "war is ending" dip, but it backfired.
The Damage:
• SCO fell 41% in March (worst in 6 years).
• Despite $977M flowing in, total assets are only $970.00M.
• Massive losses effectively "ate" the new investment capital. 💸
While shorts suffered, long funds (USO & BNO) hit record inflows of $700M and $600M. The market is highly divided, but for now, the short sellers are trapped. 🛢️⚠️

🔥 Why Are Oil Prices Rising?
Several factors are converging to push crude higher:
1. Supply Constraints
· OPEC+ continues to enforce production cuts, keeping supply

🚨BREAKING:
Iran has vowed to block shipping through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Gulf of Aden.
If this happens, oil could hit $150 a barrel.

1️⃣ Crude Oil: WTI and Brent both show declines, influenced by oversupply concerns and weaker industrial demand.
2️⃣ Equities: Energy sector stocks may see short-term pressure as oil prices slide.

Pakistan’s Oil Shock Ladder — A Strange Signal from Oil Markets
Update to the Pakistan Oil Shock Ladder thread. Something unusual is happening in oil markets.
On Friday:
Brent closed around $103.86
Dubai crude closed around $127.86
That is a $25+ gap between the two.
Historically, this makes little sense. (See charts)
Normally, Brent trades at a premium to Dubai crude, typically $1–4 per barrel.
Brent is lighter, easier to refine, and closer to Western markets. So the usual structure is: Brent > Dubai
Today we have: Dubai >>> Brent
And not by a little.
