U.S. Oil Futures Show Record Bearishness Despite Strait of Hormuz Crisis and Depleted Reserves
Mario Nawfal Interviews
NETANYAHU BEGS TRUMP FOR FACE TO FACE MEETING, IRAN ESCALATION EXPECTED - w/ Chris Martenson
"In 15 years, we've never seen a reading as low as this one on June 30th, 2026, where these money managers are as bearish on oil as they have been at any point in time in the past 15 years. Not just a little bit bearish, but the most bearish they've been in 15 years."
Market data reveals money managers hold the most bearish oil position in 15 years despite the Strait of Hormuz operating at one-third capacity and U.S. strategic petroleum reserves near depletion. Energy economist Chris Martenson suggests government manipulation through coordinated headline releases and algorithmic trading nudges to suppress prices. The disconnect between fundamentals and futures pricing could lead to catastrophic shortages if the Iran situation deteriorates.
