Tough Day For Big Oil -- WTI Drops Almost 4% -- Trading Below $57; OPEC No Longer Relevant -- May 30, 2019

Relevancy of OPEC? This sort of shows how relevant OPEC has become. OPEC suggests they will keep production low to "maintain" prices; talk of war in the Mideast; tankers being targeted in the strait; and, drones hitting Saudi oil fields. Venezuela and Iran at minimal production/exports. Mexico not doing much better. Western Canada landlocked. Five years ago, all of this would have resulted in a spike in WTI -- today, WTI drops almost 4%.  Saudi is relevant; OPEC is not, but I've been saying that for years.
