Short Term Top in Oil

Quote from illiquid:

Was this release already priced in the drop we got today?

The drop was due to the SPR loans, tankers coming from Europe, and some pipelines and refineries coming back on line. The sale from the SPR was a surprise announcement after the market closed.

Although you have to congratulate the US government on its SPR trade...

Buy between 30-45, sell at $67 ish.

Great trade, guys! Can I get a tax decrease now? (didn't think so)
 
Not a prediction, but medium uoptrend in oil/gas sector is still up;
ddint buy any dips today, like i usually do.

XOM,BP, independants oil stations were lowering prices today;
south east,

Too bad oil closed early today (Friday before Labor Day). It would have been interesting to see (and trade) the market reaction to the announced sale of 30m barrels from the SPR.

Crude closed with an inverted cup on the 10 minute. Usually bearish with volume . After labor day demand drops anyway, so highly probable we already topped.

I think this is an interesting move on the part of the Bush admin.

Haven't read up on the full news item yet, but dumping a bunch of supply into a market is generally a very good way to lower prices. If oil prices do start to decline/retrace, I'm very interested to see how the markets will handle a significant decline in oil prices, particularly after the parade of "higher highs" news items we've been seeing lately.
 
there was a 10 minute ( POST CLOSE NYMEX )
reaction to the SPR news friday

www.platts.com

- October crude traded down to $67.10/bbl for a loss of $2.37/bbl on the
session. October unleaded gasoline fell to $2.1590/gal, down to its allowable
limit of 25 cts/gal and triggering a five-minute trading halt. October heating
oil traded down to $2.0850/gal, down 11.35 cts on the day.-
