Saudi Arabia has now cut its production of oil.
Iraq’s production of oil is down to less than one-third what it was before Trump started this war."

Marketwatch this morning report that overnight's reversal - a stunning leap in oil prices followed by a dramatic drop to merely a significant rise in oil prices - was in fact triggered by reminders of strategic oil reserves held across the G7, which led immediately to talk of _releases_ of oil by those reserves, even though none have been announced. And that stemmed the panic.
For context, check earlier in this thread, or for more context, here's a five-day chart. Actual price in oil hit just short of $120/barrel at $119.48 before people got some talking to.

_Discussions_, apparently.
Or a global recession play. Don't know.
Or Asian markets locking in as much supply as they can and getting done making certain guarantees. Persian Gulf goes lots of places but a _lot_ of it goes to eastern Asia.
I'm looking for news to trigger this reversal but not seeing it.
