It tracks real cargoes loading 10 to 30 days ahead and is set daily from actual buyer and seller deals by S&P Global Platts.
Brent futures on ICE are paper contracts for delivery months later. They are driven more by speculation and storage costs.
The gap is large. Physical oil is around $141 per barrel while futures are near $109.
This shows tight immediate supply and war risk pricing in the real barrel market while financial pricing lags behind.
I think this is an old story. He did this last October, I can’t find a new article about him doing it again. Your sceenshot doesn’t have a date.
The President has begun many recent mornings watching video clips compiled by military officials of battlefield successes.
"Trump told them he wants to wind down the campaign, wary of a protracted conflict that could hobble Republicans heading into the midterms. At the same time, he wants the operation to be a decisive success. "
“As preparations for the war began, the Administration believed it had a winning formula. The U.S. would deliver an opening strike so overwhelming Tehran’s only viable response would be limited retaliation—enough to satisfy domestic audiences without inviting more attacks.”
"Hegseth was among those taken aback, says the person familiar with his thinking: “He was expecting the Iranians to fight back in some form. When they started attacking virtually the entire region, it sort of hit him like, ‘Whoa, we’re really in this now.’”
“Trump became wary enough of leaks that some of his own aides were the target of subterfuge. On Feb. 27, he traveled to Mar-a-Lago. Aides assembled in a makeshift Situation Room. Trump bristled at the number of people present. “He thought the group was too big,” one official recalls; it included people Trump didn’t recognize or didn’t feel he knew well enough.”

US consumer inflation expectations spiked +0.7 percentage points in March, to 6.2%, the highest since August 2025.
This also marks the largest increase since April 2025, following the “Liberation Day” tariffs.
This follows the University of Michigan’s 1-year inflation expectations, which jumped +0.4 percentage points, to 3.8%, the largest monthly increase since April 2025.
As a result, the percentage of consumers saying that interest rates will be higher over the next 12 months jumped +7.5 percentage points, to 42.4%.
Inflation is a major concern for Americans right now.
Yemen announces ‘joint operation’ targeting Israel alongside Iran, Hezbollah
This was the Yemeni army’s third operation since it joined the battle alongside its allies in the Axis of Resistance
The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) announced on 1 April their third operation since entering the war alongside the Axis of Resistance, targeting “sensitive” sites in Israel in cooperation with Hezbollah and the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Our armed forces, with the help of Allah and relying on Him, carried out the third military operation in the ‘Battle of the Holy Jihad,’ which targeted sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy south of occupied Palestine with a barrage of ballistic missiles,” the YAF said in a statement.
“The operation was carried out in cooperation with the Mujahideen brothers in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, and thanks to Allah, it achieved its objectives successfully,” the statement added.
“The enemy’s attempt to escalate its aggression, crimes, and attacks on Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Palestine will only push the free and proud Yemen to further escalation in the coming period until the aggression is stopped and the siege is lifted,” the YAF affirmed.
Sirens sounded in the south early on Wednesday due to ballistic missiles launched from Yemen. Tel Aviv said the attack was intercepted.
The launch from Yemen coincided with rocket and missile strikes from Lebanon and Iran.
Fourteen people were injured due to the Iranian missiles, which struck Tel Aviv and Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv.
Hebrew media has recently noted “non-stop” Lebanese rocket fire on northern settlements, where local officials are lambasting the Israeli government for failing to protect them.
The joint attack comes two days after Hezbollah and Iranian missiles hit the Bazan Oil Refinery in Haifa, setting a gas tank ablaze.
The YAF joined the war in late March, targeting sensitive sites in the south with a barrage of ballistic missiles.
A Yemeni missile directly impacted the city of Eilat.
YAF spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that the operation was carried out in response to Israel’s crimes and massacres “against our brothers in Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, and Palestine.”
After the genocide started in Gaza in 2023, the YAF was among the first groups to intervene militarily – alongside Hezbollah and Iraqi resistance factions.
The YAF implemented an unprecedented naval blockade on Israel, and began to target vessels linked to Israeli interests or those which were en route to Israeli ports. The operations inflicted a major blow to global shipping and the Israeli economy, while European and US naval deployments failed to deter Sanaa.
Yemen also targeted Washington’s warships, with US officials saying at the time that it was the most intense naval combat since World War II.
“Mr. Hegseth, is this you firing a bunch of generals and letting everyone on a military base have a gun everywhere, or the Liquor?”
