March 13th, 2025 | WTI Prices Lift As US Consumption Rises 5.1% Last Week.
Schachter's Eye On Energy - President Trump freaked out stock markets with his on-off switch of new tariffs and threats against the US’s key trading partners. Canada is getting the brunt of these social media attacks. Trump threatens, then trade negotiators from both sides get to work on the details and persuade Trump to relent and there are reverses in […]
March 5th, 2025 | Significant Decline in Crude Oil has Triggered a New Buy Signal
Schachter's Eye On Energy - President Trump teased the markets last week with misdirection of when he planned to put on his tariffs. He mentioned early April to add stiff tariffs to China, Mexico and Canada and then the next day changed again. We hit all three on Monday March 3rd with various high tariffs. This shocked the stock markets […]
February 26th, 2025 | WTI Breaches US$69/b. A New Energy Sector BUY Signal Should Occur in March
Schachter's Eye On Energy - In early April we will see if President Trump is going to add stiff tariffs to Mexico and Canada and others around the world. It appears that he is using the hammer against his closest neighbours and then taking the plan against Europe and the rest of the world with trade surpluses with the US. […]
February 12th, 2025 | US Total Consumption Falls While Commercial Crude Stocks Rise
Schachter's Eye On Energy - President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu have given Hamas until noon on Saturday to release all remaining hostages (alive and the bodies of the dead) as Hamas has not met the phase one conditions. If the release does not happen then Trump’s ‘All hell is going to break out’ could escalate the fighting in the […]
Schachter's Eye On Energy - President Trump used his Tariff threats against Mexico and Canada to get support in the battle to keep fentanyl and illegal immigrants outside of the US. Mexico’s team found the right solution of adding 10,000 National Guard soldiers to lock down the border and plan aggressive moves against the cartels. They also accepted Trump’s remain […]
January 29th, 2025 | President Trump’s Tariff Agenda Weighs Heavily On Canadian Energy Sector
Schachter's Eye On Energy - President Trump moved quickly to show he meant business with his Tariff’s. Colombia’s leftist President would not let US planes land in his country with deported criminals that were his citizens. President Trump threatened 25% tariffs immediately and 50% a week later. This would have severely hurt the Colombian economy which exports crude oil and […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Canadian inflation under better control than in the US
January 22nd, 2025 | WTI Falls >US$3/b Over The Last Week As Markets Await Trump Tariff Decisions
Schachter's Eye On Energy - Outgoing President Biden made some last minute questionable pardon decisions that caused a distaste as he exited the stage. Were these individuals (family, J6 committee members and staff or Dr. Fauci, etc.) really guilty or was it to save them from Congressional testimony. Putting the past behind would be the best for America as it […]
Schachter's Eye On Energy - The Biden administration leaves next week but continues its scorched earth plan to make Trump’s taking over power difficult. The White House continues to spend whatever funds authorized by Congress and that the President can spend under Presidential authority before Inauguration Day. The result may be that the incoming administration comes in with a run […]
January 8th, 2025 | US Crude Oil Inventory Build Lowers WTI Price – Correction Underway
Schachter's Eye On Energy - The Biden administration is leaving in two weeks and the White House continues to spend whatever funds authorized by Congress and that the President can spend under Presidential authority before Inauguration Day. The result may be that the incoming administration comes in with a run rate of a US$3T+ deficit and all Biden’s favourite programs […]
