Mr. Putin Turns Off the Gas, Whereupon the Price of Crude Oil Tumbles

Go figure. How perverse the fuels market is, and how rough the play. One would think that an interruption to the flow of gas from Russia to Europe would have delivered a boost to the price of Crude Oil, but it didn’t work out that way today. Meanwhile, reports in the papers this morning tell [...]
