    Normally you would see the massive shortfall where ~15% of global oil demand needs to be destroyed by price increases, and you would then assign the risk that happens, and take the integral over your risk distribution times your pricing scenarios.

    However, two things are going wrong:

    • markets wildly overestimate Trump’s words and ability to resolve this, so are mis estimated risk
    • oil execs are happy with the extra income

    So they’ve put off the price increases entirely because of hubris.
