OPEC Jawbones Spike In Crude As Hedgies Dump Longs At Fastest Pace On Record

The bounce off a $47 handle on Friday in WTI was fading fast again this morning…

following news that money managers cut their bullish Brent and WTI oil bets by 154,871 to a net-long position of 699,209 contracts – the biggest decline on record.

While the drop was large, net longs remain extreme suggesting the long squeeze has more to go…

Which of course OPEC had to try and jawbone away…

And sure enough…

 

We wonder how long this will last?
