In the global oil sector, there's risk... and then there's risk.
One is a quasi-artificial construct traders use to manufacture returns in a shaky market.
The latest attacks on two oil product tankers just south of the highly strategic Strait of Hormuz once again puts this kind of risk at center stage in the oil market.
And unlike previous attacks (yes, there have been many others), this most recent is far more consequential.
So it's absolutely critical that you understand what's happened here - and what's likely to happen again...

This is madness for US planning to bomb Iran under the pretence of taking out their nuclear facilities (and of course they have to first take out certain Iran military facilities to protect US military in case Iran tries to protect itself). This is all coming from Senator Graham, etc that gets orders from Israel. Disgrace!!!!
