The Middle East is crazy, and it stabs the United States again
1
Since this month, the global energy and political landscape has entered a new level of eating melons. The five major oil-producing countries in Saudi Arabia have once again cut production at the same time at the node of high oil prices.
Saudi Arabia cut production by an average of 500,000 barrels per day;
Iraq reduced by 211,000 barrels per day;
The United Arab Emirates reduced by 144,000 barrels per day;
Kuwait reduced by 128,000 barrels per day;
Kazakhstan cuts by 78,000 barrels per day
...These five brothers, together with a few little brothers around them, reduced the global crude oil supply by more than 1 million barrels per day in an instant. At the critical moment of high global inflation, the attending doctor, Saudi Arabia, not only did not give him a high fever. The energy market lost fire, but backhanded out a tube of "adrenaline".
On the same day, Russia, a good brother of the United States, began to cut production without saying a word, and continued to "actively" reduce crude oil production by an average of 500,000 barrels per day.
The U.S. official press spokesman immediately expressed regret for the production cuts by Middle East oil producers and Russia.
This wave of action is very counter-intuitive!
The world's leading crude oil supplier, when oil prices were high, not only did not step up shipments to make money, but instead cut production.
Russia, which is struggling with Ukraine, does not enter or sell more oil at a good price to subsidize the finances, but instead cuts production along with it.
On the contrary, the United States, the world's largest crude oil exporter, not only looked sad when faced with high oil prices, but was furious at the competitor's behavior of "not grabbing business".
Which one would you say these guys played?
According to the concept of our ordinary people, who does business without thinking about selling more when it is expensive?
Who doesn't want to sell more goods to make up for the family when the family is struggling?
Who doesn't want their competitors to grab two less deals from themselves when the market is good?
Why are all the brothers screwing up this time?
Listen to me, this is a big melon!

If we only look at the problem from the perspective of product trading in the crude oil market itself, the series of operations of the current Middle East brothers, the United States, and Russia are absolutely strange.
But the world is like this, nothing can exist independently from other factors, everything is related, and there is no absolute closed system.
When you think it’s about money, but you find something that has nothing to do with money, it must have a higher dimension, and this time Saudi Arabia is in a high-latitude area other than money, according to the waist of the United States. one knife.
We all know that Lao Mei used to have two big brothers in the Middle East, one was Israel and the other was Saudi Arabia. At that time, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States was really like Gao Qiqiang's frozen fish-bang bang hard.
But we all know that there is no love for no reason in this world. At that time, the reason why Saudi Arabia was so good with the United States was essentially the relationship between sales and God.
At that time, the United States was really short of oil! With the world's largest industrial system and the world's largest car ownership, the amount of oil burned every day is astronomical, and Saudi Arabia is so poor that only oil is left.
But later, with a technological breakthrough across the ages, this rigid alliance was broken, that is, shale oil extraction technology.
On the northern Great Plains of the United States, the second largest shale oil field in the world was discovered. Unlike Russia, the largest shale oil reserve country, and China, the third largest shale oil reserve country, his shale oil grows almost close to the surface. Yes, and on the Great Plains!
Russia's shale oil is the world's number one, but it's all piled up in Siberia. That thing just sends cotton jackets to workers, and the cost of mining has to be increased by a large amount.
Although China ranks third in the world, its storage is mainly distributed in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan area, where not only are the roads rugged and steep, but they are also buried deep.
Therefore, although the reserves of shale oil in the United States are the second in the world, its output is the first in the world, and it is the shale oil field with the lowest extraction cost.
Isn't this the end of the calf? !
The United States instantly changed from the world's largest oil importer to the largest oil producer. Not only did the United States share the same bed with it, but it also came to fight with it. Who can bear it?
Saudi: My love is like a tide, receding...

Only the hatred between colleagues in this world is naked and firm.
Since the large-scale exploitation of shale oil in the United States, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States has actually begun to seem at odds.
But fortunately, the initial cost of extracting shale oil in the United States was very high, probably maintained at 60-79 US dollars per barrel.
In places like Saudi Arabia, where artesian wells are everywhere, the cost of crude oil extraction is even higher, which is more than ten dollars a barrel.
The two sides did not have a particularly sharp competitive relationship, but later shale oil refining technology made a huge breakthrough, and the cost of a barrel of more than 60 US dollars, Kuku gave it to less than 40 US dollars.
This is when something went wrong. Originally, US shale oil was used as domestic crude oil reserves, and the rest only came out to compete with Saudi Arabia for two bites when international oil prices were high.
Seeing the face of American soldiers, Saudi Arabia will endure it, but once the cost of shale oil drops by 40%, then under the condition of ordinary oil prices, the United States will also grab Saudi food.
Therefore, in the past few years, Saudi Arabia has adopted a dumping strategy, continuously increasing production to keep the international oil price below 30 US dollars, and its main goal is to starve the oil old in the United States to death.
However, as the United States continues to spread wars around the world, especially the oil-producing countries in the Middle East, almost all of them except Saudi Arabia have been bullied by the United States.
In addition, once the Russia-Uzbekistan war started, no matter how much you suppressed the international oil price, it would be impossible to lower it below 30. In the end, as the United States pulled out the "oxygen pipe" of the European Union, the international oil price completely let itself go.

However, the United States shouldn't have kicked Russia out of the SWIFT system, and it has dug a sinkhole for itself.
The idea of the United States itself is quite beautiful, kick Maozi out, so that the energy market of the European Union will belong to itself, but it never expected that it would use too much force!
The dollars that Chuan Jianguo and Bai Zhenhua produced from crazy inflation failed to flow into the Chinese market to eat meat, but were all kept in their own homes.
And the old Maozi directly overturned the US dollar settlement of crude oil in a rage. Now if he wants to buy oil from Maozi, he can either use rubles or RMB.
This directly caused all dollar inflation to be suffocated on the oil price, and at the highest point, the oil price directly rushed to more than 80 dollars a barrel.
With the collapse of U.S. dollar credit, the "ghost settlement" that China took the lead in using currency swap agreements has also begun to exert force. A large number of third world countries that have no ability to resist risks have thus escaped the blade of the U.S. dollar harvest.
This is very difficult!
Whose debt collection is to make the poor ghost pay back the money? Aren't they all rushing to pay off the debt with Xi'er?
But now through currency swaps, the third world countries have exchanged dollars from the big players in China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, and then returned them to the United States, which has completely paralyzed the United States!
Xin said: "Did I ask you to collect debts for US dollars? Why do I want this torn paper?! This is printed by myself, and what I want is your mine!"
So now there is a problem. The United States has basically not harvested valuable assets in this wave, and what is flowing back into the United States is the most flooded dollar.
The crude oil market is even more embarrassing. The more expensive the crude oil price, the more US crude oil companies earn, but all you get back from selling oil is dollars!
This is tantamount to exchanging the real gold and silver of the United States for other people's printed paper. This will not help the US economy except to continue to push up hyperinflation.
And the five countries in the Middle East and Lao Maozi suddenly continued to push up the price of crude oil at this juncture. The timing can be said to be quite beautiful!
Everything is inflation, but the operation of the country and the economy will never depend on currency but on materials.
When the price of oil goes up, the national energy procurement of the United States is directly forced to a dead end.
With the high oil price of $79 a barrel, is the U.S. government still purchasing energy reserves?
If you continue to purchase reserve energy, you will have to put more dollars into the market, but the biggest problem in the United States now is that there are too many dollars.
The Fed is still suicidally raising interest rates and trying to make a final effort to control inflation, and you will purchase energy at sky-high prices and continue to inject dollars into the market.
This is like taking a sip of heat-clearing and detoxifying and then drinking donkey penis soup. I don’t know if it will keep healthy or not, but it will definitely hurt the kidneys!
But if you don't make energy purchases, what do you use to stabilize prices? You can't control inflation without enough cheap energy being put on the market.
Because food and energy are the basis of all price levels, the price of food has been played crazy by myself, and now the price of energy is also crazy. You have stopped energy procurement, and CPI is no longer there, right? !
So now there is such a deadlock: as long as the oil price continues to rise, the US inflation will collapse from left to right.
As for the US government persuading domestic energy giants to take the initiative to lower oil prices?
For the United States, this is much more difficult than changing a president.
