OPEC+ Digs Deeper: A Shelby Company Limited Analysis of Oil's Next Move

By Order of the Oil Barons

Right listen up. The suits over at OPEC+ thinkin' they're runnin' the show. Eight of 'em led by the Russians and the Saudis have decided to pump an extra 548,000 barrels of crude a day. They reckon the world's lookin' steady economy wise. Healthy market fundamentals they call it. Means they think they can get away with it without sinkin' the price. 'Course they're still playin' with those voluntary supply cuts – a game of cat and mouse if you ask me. But remember everyone is a whore Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.

The 1.66 Million Barrel Gamble

These cuts of 1.66 million barrels a day? Supposed to last 'til the end of next year. And another 2.2 million barrels a day clipped 'til the end of the first quarter. They had this bright idea to up production by 137,000 barrels a day every month until September 2026. Lasted one bleedin' month. Tripled it to 411,000 barrels for May June and July. Now they're upping it again in August. It's like watchin' a bunch of bookies chasin' their losses. I myself have no limitations just the word of the people I pay to make limitations for me.

Summer Heat and Tehran's Troubles

Now a bit of summer demand always gives the price a bump. And that little spat between Israel and Iran? Good for business. Threatens Tehran's supply and worries the markets about the Strait of Hormuz. Makes everyone nervous and nervous money always lands in the right pockets. Namely mine. Though sometimes death is a kindness.

The Price of Black Gold

Last I checked oil futures settled at $68.30 a barrel for the September Ice Brent contract. And $66.50 for the August Nymex U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude. Numbers dancing in the light tellin' their own story. This whole thing's a gamble lads. But isn't everything? 'Course it is. And I have a plan a very good plan

Shelby's Strategy: Always a Step Ahead

Here's what I see: They're trying to balance supply and demand keep the prices high enough to make a killing but not so high that everyone switches to something else. Classic tightrope walk. But they are like horses in blinkers who don't see the other horses running in the same race. They think they are the only ones. That is why the only way to guarantee peace is by preparing for war.

No Fighting!

So keep your eyes on the market lads. Watch the moves and remember: 'Intelligence is a very valuable thing innit my friend?' And one more thing don't let 'em tell you what to do. We make our own rules here. Now get back to work. No fighting!
