From The [London] Independent:
- Russian commanders, with their families, are fleeing the Crimean peninsula
- Moscow had "annexed" the Crimean peninsula in 2014;
- Russian nationals secretly trying to sell their homes on the peninsula
- tactical nuclear weapons in play?
- Ukraine claims its troops are within 30 miles of Russian border
API:
- a build of 6.035 million bbls; forecast -- a draw of 200,000 bbls.
- does one get the feeling the analysts have no idea what's going on?
- wasn't this similar to last week: a forecast of a small build/draw and yet API reported a huge build;
- the EIA data that is reported a day after the API data is more commonly followed by folks like me;
- "leaving the SPR with just 434.1 million barrels"
- "with just" as opposed to what? At a million bopd that would last 434 days;
