Oil is back ABOVE USD100 after reports that China halted fuel exports and Washington is sending more carriers and troops to the Middle East. Tankers are still being hit near Hormuz, so the supply calm was always FRAGILE. Could we see an oil CRASH in the near future ? MZANSI feels it at the pump: petrol is tracking a RECORD price on 7 October. The ZAR barely MOVED , gold SLIPPED and BTC pumped. One week of headlines is not a strategy. Don’t trade the NOISE.
