That’s an interesting thought. For a few weeks now, I’ve been wondering why the most significant *actual* supply shock we’ve seen in a long time is barely reflected in the price. In stark contrast to smaller, often merely *potential* threats that have frequently triggered panic-driven price reactions in the past.
Have storage capacities now reached a scale where entire oil-producing regions could go offline for months without causing major disruptions in the real world?
If so, wouldn't the era of high oil-price volatility (even in the face of minor disruptions) essentially be a thing of the past?
