The Oil Crisis Is Already Worse Than It Looks
Video Overview & Insights
Oil prices have surged—but the real crisis isn’t what you see on the surface. In this video, we break down why global oil markets still appear calm despite a major supply shock, and how hidden factors like falling inventories, limited spare capacity, and disrupted supply routes are masking a much deeper problem. As these short-term buffers run out, the gap between supply and demand could widen sharply—raising the risk of higher inflation, economic slowdown, and financial market volatility. This is the oil crisis that hasn’t fully hit yet—but could escalate quickly.
Do check out the bond market video as there is a link between the two. https://youtu.be/w_-XHWmQIUs

The reservoir damage thing isn't real.
We shut in Kuwait for 2 years after gulf war 1, and Burgan came right back on.

Again and again I will say,, that almost everybody from left to right is talking of the fear of a oil crisis and a global Economic disaster, but it is the ongoing Spiritual, Moral and Enviroment global catastrophe that is actually much more scary..
We acute need less gready unhinged low quality unsustainable ”buy&trow” economic outher growth and more Spiritual & Moral inner growth and wealth that nurtures
generosity, solidarity, modesty and true happiness in combination with suststainability by producing long lasting good quality products. Yes, a political movement Upwards so to speak.
It is also no need to be afraid of the leftwing as it acts nowadays, it is not ”communism”, not even socialism, it is just common sense and Humanism,, Nobody has the exclusive right to that, the right wing is free to show some humanism and loving kindness to, like put a roof on themselfs on max wealth and what can get heritage, bit like a computergame, get to next level of inner and outer progress..
Also where did the debate on the brilliant solution Universal Basic Income /UBI go?
Inner peace and serenity creates
grateful contentment and simplicity, that creates outer Peace and shared happiness. So we don't need more boots on the ground, we need more boots on the path..

I hope the world remembers that this is solely the US' doing.
@Yoshimurha😮
@ggdryhde35Fun times all round
@reneec9947Так это отлично!!👍👍
@Тёмыч1980MISSING DETAIL!
In the last 2 months Ukraine has destroyed much of Russia's oil infrastructure. Russia does not announce the losses, but it is estimated HALF of Russian production is stopped, and that will be 5~6%. So the world is looking at more of a 25% loss.
He is doing this on purpose 😂
@roberta.kanter7041Good video thanks
@KalebMeyer-u5zProfit from fear is wack.
@PlutonicLabsI wanna see 20 dollars a gallon.. I dont rely on fuel because I have legs to get to work
@Stixs-f6jAs of now, the strait is still closed to US and US-Affliated. It will probably stay this way until US surrenders to iranians terms and that is most likely not happening. So good night to the global economy.
@mohammadosmanriaz6237As a futures trader, it seems to me the market is completely unnatural at this point - as though it's being manipulated to try to prevent a massive crash.
@stingertradesAnd the good news is...?
@jatigre1I don’t get why everyone is reporting such a low % increase
7 weeks ago we were paying $1,20 a litre for diesel now it’s $3,68 that’s 300% increase
Maybe the calm isn’t misleading. Most economic activity is by the top 10 percent. Those folk don’t care about paying a little more for gas and food.
@SmellyWalrus-f4j'Plastic' can be made from cellulose - that's plants! Hemp for one grows quickly as does bamboo. Energy price not so bad in summer and for people with solar panels.
@lindahendry59remember when people made fun of china for continuing with the green energy tech ?
@bigbrotherdsad6535Truth is there is no shortage of oil. And never will be for the countries with money to pay. To understand this logic you need to look at US . Korea Japan Sgp and all the rich countries. They can be nett importer of oils but their stock market are shooting for the moon. There will be always be oil awashed all over the world especially in the US except you have to pay more to send your tankers there to pick up the oil. Lastly Truth is there is a shortag of oi for countries that has no money to pay. Look no further than africa and india. As Trump says he could not care less if they all starve or die. As far as he is concerned US is better off in the long run.
@michellehavre6821The diesel explanation is nonsense. Learn how refineries work.
@SicSemperTyrannisMFOil crisis my ass!!!!!! The oil barons of the world decided to once again remind the world who really runs it. The political leaders of the world could do something about it, though the kickbacks they receive have them being puppets for the oil industry. The politicians could care less how expensive anything becomes, the taxpayer covers all of their needs.
@martindietz795Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
@JessyMichiganStarting early is the best way to build wealth, and investing remains a priority. The stock market offers many opportunities to earn decent returns with the right skills and a proper understanding of how the market works.
@JessyMichigannot a mention of the end of OPEC and the flood of cheap oil about the drive the price back down
@johnhumphrey515Get electric car
@MRSarvy_1@02:27 What is the source here?
@motionthingsThere is a bit of light. Thanks to Trump’s manoeuvring, the UAE have left OPEC and they have a new pipeline that goes straight for the Sea of Oman. It’s not the 20 million that used to go through the straight, but they could double production to 5 million barrels a day in the short term. This pipeline bypasses the minefield completely.
@jamesg5426nothing will happen. people will adapt. and leaders of today will be gone tomorrow
@appoloma30 news channels telling every day the same things
@marcelbrouwer2182Trump unsanctioning Russian oil and refilling Putin’s war chest right as he was trying to negotiate an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine = Maximum stupidity. But hey, nobody can fix it but me!! 🤣😂🤣😭😭 then Ukraine went and immediately blew up Russia’s refineries in Tuapse on the Black Sea, so no exports coming out of there for the foreseeable future…
@chancellor9000Bought my first EV yesterday. I’m not waiting for the very stable genius to secure my family’s financial future. Free charging at the local dealership where we bought it. Now I just need to hedge my electricity bill, perhaps with rooftop solar. Isn’t it ironic that the Republicans repealed all the incentives for EVs and renewables right before they launched this war? It’s as if they want the American people to suffer.
@chancellor9000They not going to turn the well's off, it's transport and refineries that is the bottle neck.
@andrewwelford7697Norwegian purchases of electric cars is not a measure. Norway has the cheapest production of electricity on earth, 99,95 hydropower, 95% nationalized. The rest of the worlds electricity is mostly from oil and gaz- based powerplants.
@knuterikfønstelienIt's incredible to see the markets rally to all time highs when we have this gigantic crisis just around the corner. We are only being buffered by emergency releases from strategic reserves.
@MrDukeeeey8:32 Please shut up about Norway. They've achieved that by massive oil money subsidies and having a small population and loads of hydro.
The rest of the world cant do those.
This "crisis" will be catastrophic for the already highly debted up western economies. Our hearts will forever carry a deep seated loathing for the geezers responsible for that, the ones in Washington and Tel Aviv.
@christianvanneuves9958EU is pushing 2.000 Billion EURO in the market from 2028-2032.
Long, Long, Long
War is over. Tankers now will pay Iran for coming though Hormus Strait. Everything will be ok.
@henasgd1566Blame Russia and putin. Always their fault.
@mikhailmalakhov9967The golden clown and his brainwashed clown show destroying America and the world’s economy one performance at a time 😢😢
