By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @AlexMcGuire92 -

Yes, the crude oil price is in the midst of a massive rebound.

But the gains over the last two months have come from a large volume of bearish bets.

And there's one firm with the highest number of short positions in the world that aims to benefit from the oil sector's collapse...

Where the Oil Price "Yo-Yo" Is Heading Next

Oil prices have been swinging up and down seemingly without reason. This volatility will continue in the short term, but the foundation for long-term price stabilization is being laid behind the scenes.

This will open up plenty of opportunities, so here's what you need to know...

The Biggest Reason the Price of Crude Oil Is Still Climbing

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @AlexMcGuire92 -

price of crude oil

The price of crude oil is finally back above $40 thanks to one report last week that indicates supply is falling.

The EIA reported that U.S. inventories declined by 4.9 million barrels.

And while many banks think this decline won't continue, there's one emerging trend that says otherwise...

My Oil Price Forecast Shows Why Crude Supplies and Imports Are Rising

By , Global Energy Strategist, Oil & Energy Investor • @KentMoors_OEI -

oil price forecast

U.S. crude inventories are sitting at record highs of around 2.05 billion barrels right now.

That's not a surprise. After all, there's a lingering global crude glut.

But what's surprising - at first glance - are U.S. crude imports. They're up by close to 1 million barrels per day. The country took in 8.64 million barrels per day in the week ending March 25, compared to just 7.69 million over the same period a year ago. 

Therein lies what appears to be a paradox: Why on Earth would we import more oil when we may be forced to fill swimming pools with it soon?

The answer is very simple, and it becomes clear when you see my oil price targets...

Another day, another country speaking out about the OPEC meeting.

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @AlexMcGuire92 -

oil supply

Excess oil supply has been the global energy market's biggest nightmare for nearly two years now.

But a recent report shows a 289 million barrel discrepancy in last year's oil supply data.

Here's What Has London's Wealthiest Oil Kingpins So Fired Up

By , Global Energy Strategist, Oil & Energy Investor • @KentMoors_OEI -

The City of London is hands-down the most important energy financing command center on Earth. More money for oil and gas projects is raised within a three-mile radius of Liverpool Street station than anywhere else in the world.

Naturally, this part of town is packed to the rafters with some of energy's most influential and important "money men" and women.

When I was at the Palace of Westminster for a closed-door energy briefing at the House of Lords, these financiers were absolutely electrified by one recent development.

It won't be long before these players are going to make a lot of money on this, and we'll have our chance, too...

Fed Chair Janet Yellen's seemingly harmless interest rate decision is sending the U.S. crude oil price soaring.

Crude oil prices always shoot higher when the Federal Reserve leaves rates unchanged.

But there are two other fundamental factors that will lift oil prices over the long term...

A Single Country Now Controls the Future of Oil Prices

By , Global Energy Strategist, Oil & Energy Investor • @KentMoors_OEI -

oil prices

After a hefty rise of 46.9% for the month through close last Friday, WTI crude fell for two consecutive sessions to start the week.

As always, pundits with no real experience in the industry will blame the "glut" - but excess supply on its own is not responsible for today's oil conundrum.

Instead, the key factor in how people regard the market and anticipate oil prices today is guaranteed excess supply.

And the actions of a single country will now decide whether that guarantee will remain...

Why the WTI Crude Oil Price Is Down Today – 3/14/16

Iran is OPEC's black sheep, and the WTI crude oil price isn't responding well to its revolt.

Prices fell after Iran stated it wouldn't join the effort to freeze production and raise prices.

But there are two consequences of this low price climate that will offer a number of long-term opportunities...

Best Oil ETF to buy in 2018

There's a lot of conversation about the energy sector's accelerating debt crisis. The bottom line is simply this.

Regardless of where the crude oil price moves from here, there is little likelihood that any rise in the level will be large (or happen soon) enough to save most companies mired in a vicious cycle of ever more debt.

But don't worry, because you'll be prepared. These five charts will help you put the situation into perspective and even prepare for the fallout...

wti crude oil prices

The world's largest oil producers are getting cold feet, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices are feeling it.

Prices are falling on news that a meeting among OPEC and non-OPEC producers is unlikely to happen.

But that doesn't mean you can't profit from oil's 2016 turnaround...
