WEBVTT

00:01.650 --> 00:04.990
the crisis just got worse.

00:05.370 --> 00:07.470
We're now seeing travel restrictions

00:07.470 --> 00:10.090
not just locally in certain countries,

00:10.350 --> 00:13.110
but it's now starting to spread globally.

00:13.430 --> 00:17.170
All this and a lot more in today's stream.

00:17.530 --> 00:21.070
I wanna actually begin with some interesting news

00:21.070 --> 00:22.170
which you might not have seen

00:22.170 --> 00:24.790
because it hasn't been on the mainstream media

00:24.790 --> 00:25.790
too heavily today.

00:26.330 --> 00:28.750
But I wanna open up to this article

00:28.750 --> 00:31.190
before we go into all the travel-related issues.

00:31.910 --> 00:32.870
And this is from the banker.

00:33.150 --> 00:37.970
It says, Iran to target US-owned banks in the Gulf.

00:38.570 --> 00:39.630
So this has been a,

00:40.470 --> 00:43.510
I was waiting for a few hours to have this verified

00:43.510 --> 00:45.290
before I brought it to you as well

00:45.290 --> 00:46.670
because there's nothing worse

00:46.670 --> 00:48.790
than giving information that isn't true.

00:48.890 --> 00:52.530
So we've got it from about six or seven verified sources now.

00:53.070 --> 00:55.670
So Iran has said it will target economic

00:55.670 --> 00:58.330
and banking interests in the Gulf

00:58.330 --> 01:01.750
in retaliation for US strikes on a Tehran bank,

01:02.130 --> 01:04.790
putting further pressure on the financial sectors

01:05.350 --> 01:08.570
in the UAE and wider region.

01:09.270 --> 01:13.650
This was from the Iranian regime spokesman, Ibrahim,

01:14.570 --> 01:16.830
let's not even try and pronounce that, Zulfaqari.

01:17.150 --> 01:19.210
He warned people to stay at least a mile away

01:19.210 --> 01:21.250
from banks in the Gulf region,

01:21.250 --> 01:23.650
which are to be targeted in response

01:23.650 --> 01:26.930
to overnight on admin facilities

01:26.930 --> 01:31.150
linked to Iranian state lender Bank in Tehran.

01:32.190 --> 01:33.830
So such threats intensify pressure

01:33.830 --> 01:36.490
on banking and financial services in the region,

01:36.770 --> 01:38.850
especially in the UAE.

01:39.110 --> 01:42.870
This is the most prominent financial centers here

01:42.870 --> 01:44.710
in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

01:45.330 --> 01:46.490
While a number of US banks

01:46.490 --> 01:48.730
have recently moved their regional headquarters

01:48.730 --> 01:50.430
to Saudi in recent years,

01:50.430 --> 01:53.510
most do retain a presence in the UAE,

01:53.670 --> 01:56.890
including JPMorgan, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley,

01:57.170 --> 01:58.830
Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs.

01:59.210 --> 02:03.170
Ladies and gents, these are not small banks at all.

02:03.250 --> 02:07.550
These are very, very big, huge in fact, banks,

02:07.650 --> 02:09.650
some of the biggest banks in the world.

02:10.090 --> 02:11.770
So this is a threat

02:11.770 --> 02:13.710
that I think everyone should take very seriously.

02:14.090 --> 02:16.410
And it's very interesting how,

02:16.410 --> 02:18.630
if you've been following the markets

02:18.630 --> 02:20.070
over the last 24 hours,

02:20.450 --> 02:23.230
yesterday was very, very interesting indeed.

02:23.810 --> 02:25.590
Some heavy drops,

02:25.850 --> 02:27.730
it wasn't quite across the whole sector,

02:27.730 --> 02:30.510
but there was some heavy drops certainly.

02:31.590 --> 02:34.130
Next thing I wanted to mention then

02:34.870 --> 02:38.310
was if you think about how warfare is actually fought,

02:38.630 --> 02:39.610
you think how it started

02:39.610 --> 02:41.470
with sort of the military stuff,

02:41.790 --> 02:42.810
then it was the leadership,

02:43.150 --> 02:45.350
we moved on to oil infrastructure,

02:46.230 --> 02:47.630
then funny enough,

02:48.410 --> 02:49.670
someone actually messaged me and said,

02:49.990 --> 02:52.430
Neil, you said about water, targeting water,

02:52.810 --> 02:54.510
and that's exactly what has happened now.

02:54.710 --> 02:58.910
But what they've moved on to now is the banks,

02:59.110 --> 03:01.290
so the financial centers.

03:01.890 --> 03:04.070
And we're gonna keep monitoring what's happening

03:04.070 --> 03:08.310
with the strait and yeah,

03:08.370 --> 03:10.210
it's getting very, very touchy now.

03:10.470 --> 03:13.010
I wanna tell you all the updates on this today

03:13.010 --> 03:14.870
from a lot of different countries

03:14.870 --> 03:17.870
and you can see that a lot of this

03:17.870 --> 03:19.850
is being suppressed in the mainstream media

03:20.470 --> 03:21.630
and they're sort of saying,

03:21.830 --> 03:23.270
no, no, there's nothing to worry about,

03:23.890 --> 03:25.230
everything's gonna be fine,

03:25.670 --> 03:27.810
war over in four weeks now,

03:27.990 --> 03:29.150
it was five weeks a week ago,

03:29.650 --> 03:30.790
war over in four weeks,

03:31.070 --> 03:33.370
releasing oil reserves, everything will be fine.

03:34.050 --> 03:35.590
That is not how it works.

03:35.790 --> 03:38.730
You can only release so many emergency reserves

03:38.730 --> 03:41.350
before there's no reserves left.

03:42.390 --> 03:45.690
But of course, people don't think of that, do they?

03:47.490 --> 03:50.250
The other one was, okay,

03:50.590 --> 03:53.170
if you haven't seen, if you haven't watched this video yet,

03:53.490 --> 03:54.790
I'll put the link below.

03:55.250 --> 03:59.410
My new program is out for you, digital income mastery.

04:00.050 --> 04:02.290
There are limited spots per day,

04:02.470 --> 04:03.670
it's a pre-launch event

04:03.670 --> 04:06.470
and that's the same as we did the last time.

04:06.950 --> 04:09.070
So what that means is I'm recording

04:09.070 --> 04:11.270
and creating the program as I go along

04:11.270 --> 04:13.290
and you can get it at a discount

04:14.130 --> 04:15.710
because it's not finished yet

04:15.710 --> 04:16.630
and then when it's finished,

04:16.630 --> 04:20.270
it'll go full price just like all the other programs.

04:21.430 --> 04:24.150
We've think we've got 300 video testimonials,

04:24.410 --> 04:28.250
we've got about 10,000 students now within the academy,

04:28.690 --> 04:31.830
so check that out in the link in the description.

04:32.610 --> 04:36.810
Okay, let's move on to, okay,

04:36.890 --> 04:37.990
the other thing they mentioned

04:38.650 --> 04:41.530
was that they wanted to target, here it is,

04:41.950 --> 04:46.730
they wanted to target now US tech companies.

04:47.210 --> 04:48.650
Now what I thought was interesting about this,

04:48.730 --> 04:53.130
they've singled out Amazon, Microsoft, Nvidia, IBM,

04:53.530 --> 04:55.270
Oracle and Palantir.

04:55.610 --> 04:58.230
They said these are the targets across Israel,

04:58.650 --> 05:00.490
Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

05:00.990 --> 05:04.030
So this is actually again confirmed as well.

05:04.330 --> 05:07.330
So I was looking into that and I was thinking about this

05:07.330 --> 05:10.030
by the way, if you're new, I'm looking at my notes here

05:10.030 --> 05:12.690
and if you are new, please consider subscribing

05:12.690 --> 05:17.050
to the channel, I talk all things geopolitical, finance,

05:17.590 --> 05:19.490
all the things that are important to you

05:19.490 --> 05:23.410
without the sort of mainstream media bias around it.

05:24.010 --> 05:25.710
So I was looking into this then

05:26.330 --> 05:30.190
and I was really thinking what US tech companies

05:30.190 --> 05:33.010
are within range of Iran's missiles

05:33.490 --> 05:35.470
and a little bit of research pulled up

05:35.470 --> 05:39.110
that actually if you think about the ballistic missiles,

05:39.110 --> 05:42.290
what are they cap out at 2000, two and a half thousand

05:42.290 --> 05:45.610
kilometer, so they can reach Israel

05:45.610 --> 05:46.610
some of the Gulf states,

05:47.130 --> 05:50.070
but there isn't really much US tech headquarters

05:51.570 --> 05:53.030
that is reachable.

05:53.390 --> 05:55.070
These are all in the continental US,

05:55.170 --> 05:57.470
that's Apple, Google, Microsoft, et cetera.

05:58.110 --> 05:59.730
But they do have some facilities,

05:59.890 --> 06:01.890
they do in the Gulf and Israel.

06:02.310 --> 06:06.790
So that's Amazon has the AWS centers in UAE in Bahrain

06:07.250 --> 06:10.510
and they were recently hit by drones, these regions,

06:10.810 --> 06:14.150
Microsoft, Google Cloud, Oracle, Nvidia offices,

06:14.470 --> 06:16.290
those are in range.

06:16.950 --> 06:20.690
So yeah, you might just wanna look at your portfolio today

06:21.250 --> 06:25.370
before anything happens there, that would not be good.

06:26.170 --> 06:29.890
And I think it's probably already, the market's opened yet,

06:29.970 --> 06:31.510
I don't know what time it is in the US,

06:31.510 --> 06:33.290
it's 6 p.m. here in London.

06:34.070 --> 06:36.030
So you'll be interested and see what happens

06:36.030 --> 06:37.190
when the market's open today.

06:38.570 --> 06:42.170
Qatar's LNG shutdown sends global shockwaves

06:42.170 --> 06:44.570
through the gas markets.

06:45.610 --> 06:48.850
This came out today from oilprice.com.

06:49.190 --> 06:52.070
Qatar's energy shutdown of its LNG production complex

06:52.070 --> 06:54.810
has resulted in a streak of five days

06:54.810 --> 06:58.670
with zero shipments out of the super chilled fuel

06:59.190 --> 07:00.790
according to Bloomberg.

07:01.230 --> 07:04.230
This is the longest period with no Qatari LNG,

07:04.670 --> 07:06.810
leaving the country since 2008.

07:07.850 --> 07:10.630
So this means 20% of the world's LNG exports

07:10.630 --> 07:12.450
are gone as of right now.

07:13.670 --> 07:17.190
US car goes with liquefied natural gas, which is LNG,

07:17.570 --> 07:19.090
initially en route to Europe.

07:19.230 --> 07:22.810
This one's crazy, actually diverted to Asia.

07:23.410 --> 07:26.270
According to Bloomberg, at least eight LNG tankers

07:26.270 --> 07:28.150
have been diverted to date.

07:28.150 --> 07:30.170
This in turn triggered a further spike

07:30.170 --> 07:32.790
in European gas prices.

07:34.810 --> 07:36.190
Canada, this is out of Bloomberg.

07:36.810 --> 07:39.810
Canada weighs options to boost oil supply

07:39.810 --> 07:42.630
as war causes market turmoil.

07:43.270 --> 07:47.750
So Canada as well has got a lot of concerns now there.

07:48.290 --> 07:51.070
Let me tell you what they are looking to do.

07:51.430 --> 07:53.770
I think this whole net zero plan is out the window.

07:54.110 --> 07:55.490
It's kind of funny, isn't it?

07:55.590 --> 07:57.090
When you think about this,

07:57.530 --> 08:01.190
how they were making this drink through paper straws.

08:01.270 --> 08:05.730
The thought of it makes me, ugh, paper straws, okay?

08:06.610 --> 08:09.630
And yet you think to yourself, I saw a meme this week.

08:09.890 --> 08:12.730
He said, how many paper straws would I need to drink through

08:13.190 --> 08:14.090
for that bomb?

08:14.310 --> 08:16.930
And you know, the whole oil refinery's gone up in flames

08:16.930 --> 08:18.850
and you know, as far as you can see,

08:18.950 --> 08:20.770
it looks like a nuclear bomb has gone off.

08:20.790 --> 08:21.870
It's just black everywhere.

08:22.670 --> 08:23.890
But this is what's going on.

08:24.170 --> 08:25.310
So this whole net zero plan,

08:25.310 --> 08:26.630
I think it's kind of out the window.

08:27.030 --> 08:28.990
Although there's some people still flying around

08:28.990 --> 08:31.350
on their private jets and telling people,

08:31.510 --> 08:34.290
make sure you drink out of your paper straw

08:34.930 --> 08:36.450
while we drop all of these bombs.

08:36.650 --> 08:39.790
And by the way, you need to pay all of these carbon taxes.

08:40.850 --> 08:43.350
I was, luckily I booked my flight.

08:43.670 --> 08:44.970
I'm in the US in April.

08:45.870 --> 08:47.550
And luckily I booked my flight

08:47.550 --> 08:49.070
because I knew that I was like, okay,

08:49.130 --> 08:50.090
it's going to kick off any day.

08:50.170 --> 08:51.070
Let's get the flight booked.

08:51.170 --> 08:54.610
Otherwise I'm going to get hit with all of this.

08:55.070 --> 08:57.870
And I was looking at the flight today, the breakdown,

08:58.130 --> 09:01.250
and there were 18 taxes on there.

09:01.450 --> 09:03.930
I'm not joking you, from the UK to the USA,

09:04.870 --> 09:07.450
18, or should I say payments on there.

09:07.890 --> 09:11.350
So the actual flight itself was, you know, x amount.

09:11.710 --> 09:14.770
And then the other double that was all these taxes,

09:15.150 --> 09:18.190
carbon taxes, green levees, like all this stuff

09:18.190 --> 09:23.110
and you think it's unbelievable how this has all passed.

09:23.290 --> 09:24.350
And yet they're dropping bombs

09:24.350 --> 09:27.150
and people don't even, they can't put two and two together

09:27.150 --> 09:30.790
and realize what a massive scam is going on here

09:30.790 --> 09:31.410
with all of this.

09:31.910 --> 09:33.190
So what does Canada said?

09:33.910 --> 09:36.510
Is urgently exploring options with provinces

09:37.030 --> 09:40.490
and they're going to boost the industrial demand

09:41.370 --> 09:43.230
as a result of this conflict.

09:43.710 --> 09:46.610
Canada is the world's fourth largest oil producer,

09:46.610 --> 09:48.950
but most of its crude goes to the US.

09:49.590 --> 09:53.210
The expanded government-owned trans-mountain pipeline,

09:53.210 --> 09:55.530
which only opened two years ago,

09:55.950 --> 09:58.130
has allowed for a surge in shipments to Asia

09:58.390 --> 10:02.510
with the line running at about 81% in December.

10:03.610 --> 10:06.410
Companies operating in Alberta's oil sands

10:06.410 --> 10:08.890
are entering a period of spring maintenance.

10:09.130 --> 10:10.590
Gosh, talk about bad timing.

10:11.190 --> 10:13.410
Spring maintenance that's going to cut output

10:13.410 --> 10:18.030
by 150,000 barrels a day or more in the second quarter.

10:18.490 --> 10:22.810
While Canada doesn't maintain a US-style strategic reserve

10:22.810 --> 10:24.150
of petroleum this is,

10:24.570 --> 10:26.750
because it's a net exporter of energy,

10:27.130 --> 10:29.490
it does have emergency supplies that could be tapped

10:29.490 --> 10:32.370
for domestic use if needed, they said.

10:34.050 --> 10:36.690
Another one that I saw today is that,

10:36.710 --> 10:39.310
remember I told you last week, watch Japan

10:39.310 --> 10:40.750
because what do they get?

10:40.890 --> 10:46.290
They get 95% of their, I think it's just their energy

10:46.290 --> 10:48.850
in general, it might be something specific,

10:48.850 --> 10:52.810
but 95% of their energy comes from the strait.

10:53.650 --> 10:55.330
So what does Japan announced?

10:55.770 --> 10:59.610
They have released, hold on, let me get this here for you.

11:00.210 --> 11:02.470
Okay, starting on the 16th of March,

11:02.810 --> 11:06.850
the government will release 15 days of private oil

11:06.850 --> 11:09.390
and one month of state reserve.

11:09.510 --> 11:11.590
So they're actually saying this is a crisis.

11:11.970 --> 11:14.550
So they hold 254 days of reserves,

11:14.630 --> 11:16.770
which is one of the biggest buffers in the world.

11:17.180 --> 11:19.290
But they're saying that isn't enough

11:20.310 --> 11:22.590
because if this continues to go on,

11:22.670 --> 11:23.690
there's gonna be a lag effect

11:23.690 --> 11:25.350
and it's gonna be quite serious.

11:26.450 --> 11:30.550
This was a video as well of, let me share a screen.

11:32.650 --> 11:34.370
This was a video of China.

11:35.170 --> 11:37.310
So these are the lines, I'll show you from the start.

11:38.250 --> 11:40.010
Look at these lines right now.

11:40.410 --> 11:41.470
They've got the police there.

11:42.030 --> 11:44.770
These lines just go on and on and on.

11:45.370 --> 11:47.550
Now, obviously it's not gonna be the whole of China,

11:47.610 --> 11:50.050
but there's the fueling station there.

11:50.450 --> 11:52.930
So we're starting to see this all over the place

11:52.930 --> 11:53.870
at the moment.

11:54.270 --> 11:56.270
Now let's go on to some of the specifics.

11:57.450 --> 11:58.610
Vietnam, right?

11:58.910 --> 12:00.030
We'll go through some different countries.

12:00.510 --> 12:02.050
People told to work from home

12:02.050 --> 12:03.730
because they're running out of fuel.

12:04.330 --> 12:06.510
Bangladesh has started rationing now

12:06.510 --> 12:07.950
and there's only, you can only pump

12:07.950 --> 12:09.290
so much fuel per vehicle.

12:09.930 --> 12:12.570
Asia-wide petrol prices surging,

12:13.130 --> 12:16.350
surging and traders can't find alternative supply.

12:16.950 --> 12:18.710
Thousands of flights canceled.

12:19.050 --> 12:20.530
Airlines rerouting everything.

12:21.110 --> 12:22.510
They're carrying extra fuel.

12:22.870 --> 12:25.190
They're making emergency refueling stops.

12:25.390 --> 12:26.290
These are unscheduled.

12:26.590 --> 12:29.870
British Airways parent companies crash by 6%.

12:29.870 --> 12:31.810
EasyJet down 4%.

12:31.810 --> 12:34.370
Airlines are all reviewing their plans.

12:35.330 --> 12:38.670
US Airlines stopped hedging fuel costs years ago.

12:39.070 --> 12:42.030
So they're now eating the current price.

12:42.030 --> 12:43.850
The oil is today.

12:43.970 --> 12:47.050
In fact, oil right now, let's just get that for you.

12:49.810 --> 12:53.490
Oil as of right now, share the screen,

12:54.390 --> 12:57.450
is at $87.

12:58.250 --> 12:59.810
Brent though, let's pull up Brent,

13:00.250 --> 13:02.750
is at $92 a barrel.

13:03.070 --> 13:04.970
And it's interesting, people are celebrating this

13:04.970 --> 13:06.830
and saying, oh, you know, it's fine.

13:07.130 --> 13:10.450
It's come back down from where it went up to.

13:10.450 --> 13:12.870
This is nothing to celebrate ladies and gents.

13:13.350 --> 13:16.710
$90 a barrel oil is not a crisis over.

13:17.030 --> 13:19.690
And even if we look on the month, it's up 40%,

13:19.690 --> 13:21.070
it's up 5% on the day.

13:21.530 --> 13:23.050
And it's kind of interesting.

13:23.890 --> 13:25.870
You know, I always have to mention this.

13:26.170 --> 13:27.770
But I find it interesting when people,

13:28.010 --> 13:29.650
I make a video, I give my forecast

13:29.650 --> 13:31.870
and people get angry, they just get angry

13:31.870 --> 13:35.110
and they say, oh, and they'll say,

13:35.390 --> 13:38.450
oil's down $3 today, you're wrong.

13:38.450 --> 13:40.390
You got it wrong, good, all this sort of stuff.

13:40.850 --> 13:42.370
And I mentioned this on Friday,

13:42.390 --> 13:44.450
but you've got to remember in the world

13:44.450 --> 13:45.530
of finance and economics,

13:46.330 --> 13:47.290
you've got to think of it like,

13:48.070 --> 13:50.090
what's a good example, like water, okay?

13:50.150 --> 13:51.190
It's very fluid.

13:51.710 --> 13:53.670
But what happens is people have this sort of,

13:53.950 --> 13:55.010
they think of it like ice

13:55.410 --> 13:57.170
and they think of it as static and solid.

13:57.550 --> 14:00.590
So just because I say it's $100 a barrel right now

14:01.090 --> 14:01.890
and these are the problems.

14:01.990 --> 14:04.010
And if it goes to 115, 120,

14:04.490 --> 14:05.770
these problems will get bigger.

14:06.290 --> 14:08.130
It doesn't mean I'm saying that

14:08.130 --> 14:09.590
is going to happen right now today,

14:09.590 --> 14:10.810
but you know, some people,

14:11.030 --> 14:13.190
I don't think they get this stuff,

14:13.210 --> 14:15.610
but I'm glad most of you do anyway.

14:16.370 --> 14:18.090
So look at these prices.

14:18.810 --> 14:20.930
The only thing that is pre-neutral on the month

14:20.930 --> 14:22.150
is natural gas.

14:22.390 --> 14:25.810
Everything else is absolutely soaring,

14:25.970 --> 14:27.550
just soaring at the moment.

14:28.290 --> 14:28.890
I mean, look at the day,

14:29.270 --> 14:30.410
heating oil, which we talked about,

14:30.950 --> 14:33.090
there's now a national crisis in the UK

14:33.090 --> 14:36.610
on heating oil that has just been announced.

14:37.390 --> 14:40.710
Let me go back to, let me go back to,

14:40.830 --> 14:44.690
okay, fuel prices across Australia, Asia, Europe,

14:44.850 --> 14:45.890
there's no end in sight.

14:46.270 --> 14:48.770
They are exploding upwards now.

14:49.350 --> 14:53.110
And then we've had Thailand,

14:53.350 --> 14:55.030
government ordered work from home,

14:55.090 --> 14:58.850
from state agencies, suspended, non-essential travel,

14:59.510 --> 15:01.730
no petroleum can be exported.

15:01.730 --> 15:06.510
In fact, I messaged my friend who lives in Bangkok

15:06.510 --> 15:07.670
and I just said to him,

15:07.670 --> 15:10.630
hey, can you just confirm what's going on in Thailand?

15:11.810 --> 15:13.750
And he sent me a lot of stuff here,

15:13.870 --> 15:15.310
work from home policy,

15:15.770 --> 15:17.130
this is government agencies,

15:19.110 --> 15:21.250
the suspended, non-essential travel,

15:21.790 --> 15:23.990
so any overseas trip for government officials

15:23.990 --> 15:25.090
have been suspended.

15:26.990 --> 15:29.470
Office, this one made me kind of laugh, to be honest.

15:29.470 --> 15:32.130
Office air conditioning has to be set

15:32.130 --> 15:34.170
to 26 to 27 degrees Celsius.

15:34.950 --> 15:36.610
Now, you might go, oh my goodness,

15:36.890 --> 15:39.010
that would, I would be boiling alive,

15:39.490 --> 15:42.550
but to the Thais, that's not that hot by the way.

15:43.610 --> 15:46.350
They're comfortable at 30 degrees Celsius,

15:46.590 --> 15:49.210
so I didn't think that was quite amusing, that one.

15:50.010 --> 15:52.770
Shorts leave a tire, they've used stairs

15:52.770 --> 15:54.150
instead of the elevators,

15:54.310 --> 15:55.950
turn off lights, necessary equipment.

15:56.450 --> 15:57.650
I mean, it goes on and on,

15:57.650 --> 15:59.650
the measures that are being implemented

16:00.230 --> 16:01.590
all over the world, Philippines,

16:02.310 --> 16:04.930
they're on a four-day work week for government,

16:05.310 --> 16:08.590
heavy import reliance causing panic buying and restrictions,

16:09.230 --> 16:11.870
Pakistan, fuel crisis with low reserves,

16:12.350 --> 16:14.710
this is days, I mean, weeks at the most,

16:14.750 --> 16:17.290
but they've only got days left in Pakistan,

16:17.290 --> 16:19.530
so this is gonna be pretty serious.

16:20.470 --> 16:22.350
They've done rationing right away,

16:22.850 --> 16:26.750
India, they've got very vulnerable reserves,

16:26.750 --> 16:29.530
gas cuts to the industry 10 to 30%,

16:29.530 --> 16:31.310
physical supply pressures,

16:31.830 --> 16:34.010
high dependence again on the strait,

16:34.850 --> 16:37.930
Sri Lanka facing a huge fuel crisis,

16:38.450 --> 16:40.510
Singapore is a fuel hub,

16:40.810 --> 16:43.670
they're restricting bunker fuel to existing contracts,

16:44.290 --> 16:46.570
China halted diesel exports,

16:47.210 --> 16:48.790
they've got very large reserves,

16:49.030 --> 16:51.110
but again, they get a lot of it from the strait.

16:51.510 --> 16:55.230
I have seen though that Iran is allowing the Chinese,

16:55.930 --> 16:58.970
their container ships to actually pass through.

16:59.330 --> 17:01.010
South Korea, Japan, Taiwan,

17:01.610 --> 17:03.870
massive price surges across LNG,

17:04.550 --> 17:07.710
and we did see three container ships

17:07.710 --> 17:10.650
as of the time that I'm about an hour before recording

17:10.650 --> 17:14.710
have been mined, I guess they were mined,

17:14.770 --> 17:15.830
they've been blown up anyway,

17:16.270 --> 17:18.990
three container ships that tried to pass through,

17:21.010 --> 17:21.890
and then of course,

17:21.890 --> 17:24.590
we'll get onto the emergency one here.

17:26.960 --> 17:28.850
And this was the IEA,

17:29.230 --> 17:31.850
they've ordered the largest ever in history

17:31.850 --> 17:35.830
release of stockpiled oil to reduce the crude price.

17:36.110 --> 17:39.050
I think this may be a big mistake, ladies and gentlemen,

17:39.090 --> 17:40.030
I'm just gonna tell you now,

17:40.370 --> 17:43.310
I think this could be a big, big mistake.

17:43.910 --> 17:46.270
So the International Energy Agency

17:46.270 --> 17:49.090
has ordered this massive release,

17:49.710 --> 17:51.910
32 members agreed unanimously

17:51.910 --> 17:55.110
to release 400 million barrels of oil.

17:56.490 --> 18:00.010
The UK promised to release 13.5 million barrels

18:00.010 --> 18:01.190
from its emergency stocks.

18:01.570 --> 18:02.530
Yeah, they haven't got a lot.

18:03.110 --> 18:06.510
The country held 120 days worth of oil stocks

18:06.510 --> 18:08.150
at the end of last year.

18:08.630 --> 18:10.790
I think it's probably lower than that now.

18:11.430 --> 18:14.070
The stocks are held in refineries, oil terminals,

18:14.230 --> 18:16.610
power stations, offshore fields in the North Sea,

18:17.270 --> 18:21.110
about 15% of the stockpile is held in overseas countries.

18:21.570 --> 18:23.170
Yeah, good luck for what you think

18:23.170 --> 18:25.730
that these countries are gonna send you the,

18:26.390 --> 18:27.750
if it's not on your soil,

18:27.910 --> 18:29.450
good luck getting a lot of this.

18:29.770 --> 18:31.730
And then Japan, we've already mentioned,

18:32.890 --> 18:35.650
okay, 70% of its oil imports.

18:36.030 --> 18:39.230
I think it's 95% of something, it might be their LNG.

18:39.930 --> 18:42.450
So they've said they're gonna release a lot as well.

18:42.770 --> 18:44.990
And then Germany's Economic Minister

18:44.990 --> 18:46.330
told reporters in Berlin

18:46.330 --> 18:51.150
that they'll release 19.5 million barrels of oil.

18:52.310 --> 18:53.830
Ladies and gents, this is,

18:54.370 --> 18:58.250
it's not going the way that we were told it was going to go.

18:58.930 --> 18:59.770
And I think that,

19:00.390 --> 19:04.190
I think this war is not gonna be over in the next four weeks,

19:04.190 --> 19:07.470
which is, again, you keep hearing all the media saying it.

19:07.770 --> 19:11.350
You've seen a lot of things not being released

19:11.350 --> 19:12.350
on the media as well.

19:12.350 --> 19:14.750
I'm seeing stuff all the time through my feeds.

19:16.090 --> 19:18.250
And you're just not seeing any of this

19:18.250 --> 19:19.490
on the mainstream media.

19:19.850 --> 19:23.510
There's a lot of serious things going on right now.

19:23.930 --> 19:26.550
And there was a very tragic incident as well

19:26.550 --> 19:30.270
of a tummerhawk hitting a school in Iran.

19:30.490 --> 19:34.590
Absolutely tragic, tragic incident there

19:34.590 --> 19:35.870
of what actually took place.

19:36.410 --> 19:39.270
I mean, this is not good for anybody, ladies and gents.

19:39.550 --> 19:41.430
