The physical oil market is screaming there is a supply shock yet equities still seem calm?

People keep pointing to the front month of Brent being around 102 dollars and acting like the market has already priced this in and has it under control. I do not believe it does. To be precise, I do not believe in the screen price we are seeing. I am talking about the physical market of oil. Reuters literally reported that the North Sea Forties for delivery of barrels immediately is at 148.87 dollars a barrel while June Brent futures are sitting at slightly over 100? Dated Brent was literally trading more than 40+ dollars above June Brent futures. That is not a calm market at all. This is just the market paying a massive premium on top of the barrels that actually exist right now. TLDR: The front end is screaming that there is a shortage while the paper curve we have on our screens says that traders think this war is almost over and normalization will happen. That disconnect matters because the Hormuz is still closed and it is not just some "strait" that does not matter as Trump claims (With written Twitter posts calling them psychopaths and to open the strait). 20 million barrels move through this straight per day in normal conditions and the IEA has called this the biggest oil disruption in history. Even after the emergency reserves were released, the supply-side measures alone can not eliminate the disruption. So ask yourselves: If the physical oil market is pricing an active supply emergency in, why is the broader markets still behaving like this is just another temporary scare in headlines? SPY literally went green intraday today (April 13 as I write this up) and the S&P has also rebounded hard from its March low. All the banks are already back to the usual propaganda of "buy the dip". Maybe they are right, Maybe this all cools off. But if they are wrong, this setup is screaming dangerous in every direction because what the oil market is saying right now (I'm literally informed by a petroleum engineer): Replacements of oil barrels are scarce in supply The near term supply is at risk The damage from this conflict is not fully prepared to be fixed (this is already going to cause oil be at 100 dollars plus for the remainder of the year minimum) The market is too confident that this will blow over soon. That's why I think markets are not pricing this conflict in properly. I am not calling for a Black-Monday style event guaranteed tomorrow morning, however, I do believe it is coming towards the near end of this month, and Trump intentionally pumped the markets with a false claim of desiring a ceasefire. I believe Trump wanted a PR stunt to look like he tried negotiating with Iran so he would maintain the "President of Peace" card and that Iran did not want peace and wants a "nuclear weapon" (they've been claiming Iran is 1 week away from a nuke since 1981 till today). I believe Trump intentionally pumped the markets creating a liquidity exits for his inner circle and we are about to see one of the largest crashes in history in a sin

First time investor need advice

First time investing need some help. I was thinking to start with Fin elo or Robinhood. I already have a Robin hood account I opened last yr but never used. I'm going through a divorce. So tax and income wise. Should I start now or wait until after the divorce? I'm looking mainly for extra cash to pay for the mortgage and pay for my kids college. Retirement I already know I'll have to work until in my 70s. submitted by /u/Ok-Highway-6053 [link] [comments]

KAP to 52usd per share

Kazatomprom is mostly owned by the Kazakhstan government. They hold 75% of the shares. That leaves only 25% as the free float that people can actually trade on the London Stock Exchange and the Astana International Exchange. Regarding production, Kazakhstan produces about 43% of the world's uranium, but Kazatomprom's actual share of global production is usually around 20% to 25% because they split a lot of their output with international partners in joint ventures. They are still the biggest player in the game by far though. submitted by /u/spyapple [link] [comments]

This $3 EV stock quietly doubled deliveries… and nobody seems to care yet

I randomly came back to Canoo Inc. and was surprised how different the story looks compared to a year ago. Back then it felt like just another EV concept company. Now there’s actual execution happening. They’ve been ramping production and started delivering vehicles, including contracts tied to government and commercial use cases. What I find interesting is the niche they’re going after. Instead of competing directly with Tesla or Rivian on consumer EV hype, they’re focusing on fleet vehicles - vans, last-mile delivery, utility use. That market is way less crowded and potentially more predictable. The stock is still sitting in that low single-digit range, around a few dollars, which usually means expectations are low. But at the same time, they’re actually moving forward with real-world deployments. EV demand overall hasn’t disappeared. If anything, governments and corporations are still pushing electrification, especially for fleets where cost savings matter more than branding. Feels like one of those situations where sentiment hasn’t caught up to execution yet. Not saying it’s risk-free, but it doesn’t look like a “pure hype” story anymore either. Anyone else been tracking fleet EV companies instead of the usual consumer names? submitted by /u/TrentAshwell [link] [comments]

Yahoo Finance quotes problem

Anyone having an issue with quotes in their Yahoo Finance portfolios? I'm getting a lot of zeros on my desktop portfolio and dashes on my mobile app, as if there were no daily price changes, but there were. if I click on the symbol I can see the daily change and the one day chart, but zippo in my portfolio for many symbols. makes it worthless. Might have to use Morningstar more often. Google Finance doesn't give me what I need, unless I'm doing it wrong. submitted by /u/Playful-Elk-7274 [link] [comments]
