The Chinese/Urals moron doing his utmost to clog up the bb with his usual BS? Are there any idiots that bother to read his garbage now? Same rubbish every minute all of which has been made up and clearly wrong for years. Just filter the clown, he knows nothing of fact, understands zero about what is happening out in Koruptistan, hasn't a clue on how the City operates, inept on all matters financial and clearly has no business sense whatsoever having wrecked his family business. It is said empty vessels make the most noise, he is the absolute proof.

Poor old frenchyliar, welshy and rovershyte, how's the "taunting" business going, lol several times. Looks like the £3 express is in the knackers yard.

I'm so looking forward to all the hype and spin tomorrow. I reckon its could be a gas gas gas:-)

I see that the discussions in Baghdad didn't go very well.

The KDP is insisting on their man, Fuad Hussein (KDP), remain as Finance Minister.

Meanwhile, other parties are claiming that the ruling KRI party is seeking to misappropriate Coronavirus funds to be provided by the IR Parliament - Serious allegations.

Last paragraph is interesting...

From Alsumaria News, via Al-Akhbaar:
Deputy: Provincial government personalities seek to deposit the grant of needy families in their personal accounts.

(Alsumaria News) - The deputy of the Kurdish Future Bloc, Sercut Shams al-Din,said, on Tuesday, that the Kurdistan Regional Government is seeking to assume the process of distributing the grant to families who are entitled to government support due to
the curfew to prevent the spread of the "Corona" virus by itself and depositing the largest part of that money in the accounts of some symbols Personal system.

Shams Al-Din said in a statement that the government delegation visited the Kurdistan region two days ago and met with a number of central government officials in order to negotiate the inclusion of families there with the grant that was approved because of the curfew measures, indicating that there is an effort to distribute that grant through the government channels

And that the Kurdish opposition parties reject such a measure because the provincial government will take over this process and keep that money without distributing it to families, and depositing it in banks and the accounts of some of the figures accused of corruption there, suggesting that this grant be distributed through the transfer programs of mobile phone companies

He continued that the Kurdish government delegation spoke with Baghdad about the desire of oil companies operating in the region to stop their production due to the continuous decline in crude oil prices, which is not commensurate with the costs of extraction, workers ’wages and the region’s share, which calls for the need to
solve the problem as soon as possible

Not sure why this dung heap is going up when no one wants oil and it's going to stay like this for months.

At the end of December the share price was around £2.20p and it's now currently around £0.70p the day before results.

It's going up a little on people's hope that Jon will announce something spectacular that will suddenly fill people's bank accounts.

He won't !!

I wonder what the closing price will be tomorrow when people realise that the low oil price will bite hard in a few months time.

Still happy to sit in cash.

Agree, the recent mad price volatility has been from the futures market, going bonkers trading multiple times more oil than could EVER be delivered. Real world is oil is going to be necessary for decades, that's why the Chinese are buying this. ColoneDrakePosts: 2,766Price: 16.28No OpinionRE: June WTI down 40% at 12.50$Today 19:18It certainly is astonishing. June contract now trading almost inline with May contract which has jumped over $45pb from -$37pb lows. This is not an oil market - it's a paper trading casino and it's embarrassing for the financial industry to see it's dirty washing hung out.Meanwhile in another galaxy calld the DOW30, Exxon, a multi US Oil major is trading down by 0.2 cents or roughly 0.5%. It was actually higher at $41 a share. Futures? What oil futures? If Exxon stock isn't blinking, then I don't see why Tullow or Premier or or Enquest or Hurricane are blinking.Looks to me like they are desperately trying to rollover contracts from May to June so that the ETF book doesn't have to fold. Metaphorically, it's like lowering a bridge to meet another bridge so they can get across with no fuss and avoid a complete collapse of the trading index.My guess is, that when this settles later tonight and tomorrow, Oil will be ticking up again and the May contract holders (now June holders) can get some relief.Paper trading 10 times over is just speculation so it's no wonder it's all over the place when the barrels can't be delivered.
