President Trump’s Twitter account secured a major victory for Americans. Marketwatch reports:
Oil futures kicked off the second half of the year with some losses on Monday, amid concerns global oil producers could bump up production more than investors expect.
Crude contracts pared bigger losses earlier stemming from a weekend tweet from President Donald Trump who hinted of a big potential production increase from Saudi Arabia.
…
Just spoke to King Salman of Saudi Arabia and explained to him that, because of the turmoil & disfunction in Iran and Venezuela, I am asking that Saudi Arabia increase oil production, maybe up to 2,000,000 barrels, to make up the difference…Prices to high! He has agreed!
