(5,307 posts)Like a military strike against Iran, oil prices should drift back lower as the damage gets repaired and oil supply gets restored. As I write this post oil futures are trading at $61.86, down $1.04 from today's closing price and considerably less than today's high of $63.35.
I trade oil futures everyday. I don't see this level holding unless, as I said, trump causes another price spike by doing something stupid.
Speaking of stupid, all these current Middle East tensions began when trump tore up the treaty we had with regard to Iran's nuclear program.

You realize I literally couldn't afford to drive to work if that was true right? I'd be spending like 15% of my total pay on gas alone.

We can continue to improve car emissions and develop cleaner technology without forcing low income people to choose between driving to work or eating.
