USO Trump said two things yesterday 1) Elon Musk is a great guy (stock skyrocketed) 2) USA has liquid gold and has more of it than Middle east. So US has recently announced of pumping oil. I am speculating that USA is securing its oil stock and some reserves to sell globally. Strike on Iran is imminent. Iran is gonna shot down the red sea (or its oil will be sanctioned) : see what happens to USA oil prices... bang! When there is war, government needs money and the easiest way is to have high oil prices. Go figure.
