Watch Out For Turnip Truck Analysis

The strategic oil supply release was similar to filling a couple of swimming pools from the Colorado River then creating a press release to telling everyone to watch for a change in the water.

Turnip truck analysis usually hides very specific intent. This is a zero sum game.

Headline: Oil rebound weakens effect of supply release


An attempt by the U.S. and other non-OPEC governments to sway oil and gasoline prices appears to have petered out in less than a week.

Benchmark crude settled at $94.77 per barrel Wednesday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Over two days, oil has nearly recovered the loss from last Thursday when the U.S. and other oil-importing countries said they'd dump emergency oil supplies onto the market.

Brent crude, which is used to price many international oil varieties, also rebounded. Although at $112.40 per barrel, it's still about 2 percent below where it was last week.
