Bloody Tariffs! Is Trump Driving Oil Prices to Hell?!

By Order of the Peaky Blinders: Oil Goes South

Right listen up. The Americans under that Trump fella are playing a game with tariffs a dangerous game. Oil's gone down below sixty dollars a barrel. Lowest it's been in bloody years. Since April 2021 they say. It's like losing a bet on a rigged horse race only the whole world's the bloody racetrack.

China's Got a Pair of Twos? I've Seen Worse

This American Treasury bloke Bessent reckons the Chinese are bluffing with a pair of twos. Says they're losing because they export more to the US than the other way around. Well I've seen worse hands win fortunes. Never underestimate your enemy especially when they're as stubborn as a mule in a mine shaft. Remember “Intelligence is a very valuable thing innit my friend? And usually it comes far too late.”

Trump's Toxic Cocktail: Recession on the Rocks

Some fancy woman from RBC Capital Markets calls it a 'toxic cocktail'. Recession fears mixed with OPEC pumping more oil. Sounds like a night down the Garrison after a bad deal. Only this ain't just one night is it? This is the future we're talking about. Futures contracts and fortune telling both as reliable as a Birmingham bookie.

Waiting for an Off Ramp? Don't Hold Your Breath

Everyone's waiting to see if there's an 'off ramp' from this trade dispute. An off ramp? Sounds like a bloody holiday to Margate. There ain't no easy way out of this mess. When has there ever been? This is business this is war this is life. It's like Polly always said "There's God and there are the Peaky Blinders." And right now God's probably having a good laugh at our expense.

Tariffs Skyrocketing: A Hundred and Four Percent!

A hundred and four percent! The tariffs on China are going through the roof they say. Like a rocket gone wrong heading straight for the bloody moon. The Chinese ain't backing down either. 'Fight to the end,' they vow. Makes you wonder if they've been watching too many of those old war films. Still “Everyone’s a whore Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.” What part of themselves are they selling now I wonder?

No Peace in Our Time: Just More Bloody Chaos

So what's the plan? There ain't no plan. Not yet. Just the usual chaos the usual uncertainty. Like a blind man walking through a minefield. But remember even in the darkest of times there's always a way out. You just need to be sharp be ruthless and know when to cut your losses. And maybe just maybe we'll come out of this smelling of roses not crude oil. "Whiskey’s good proofing water. Tells you who’s real and who isn’t."
