US oil prices have spiked 40% since Christmas Eve thanks to OPEC's aggressive production cuts

Crude's recovery from last year's bear market hit another milestone on Wednesday. Oil topped $60 a barrel for the first time since November 9.The dramatic rebound mostly reflects the effectiveness of the strategy implemented by Saudi Arabia-led OPEC. The oil cartel and its allies, including Russia, agreed last year to sharp production cuts in response to a supply glut formed in part by surging US output.

"Saudi Arabia is holding back flows," Smith said.OPEC and its allies announced on Monday they are canceling a planned meeting next month to discuss their production cuts. That decision was taken as a sign that the cuts will remain in effect for a longer period of time.One of America's biggest oil companies wants to be 'carbon neutral' -- eventuallyOPEC was burned last year when it ramped up production after the United States announced sanctions on Iran.

Good thing we have our own oil. Thank you President TRUMP!

Thank you. President trump

Thanks prez!

So much for them being allies. Trump said he talked to them to keep price low. Oh, must have been a lie, Again!

Whatever it takes to make sure the executives and politicians wallets burst at the seams

FAKENEWS Thank u president TRUMP for making us independent source.

We ought to piss em all off and go back to horse and buggy days. Better yet,start building hydrogen powered hover-cars. Or even better,invent a device that will just teleport anything you need right into your home!

Gas is high!

Catch-22 value of use. We depend on water/food yet these are cheap(why farmers struggle). Diamonds,plastic, fashions, entertainment no use to you. But their value out wieghs humanitarian needs. Strand yourself with these 'precious' items, will you survive? Silly humans no clue!

Making sheiks richer and consumer poorer!

We must Thank the BUFFOON realDonaldTrump

Right up Putins alley!

Counter by buying more and more battery-powered cars...

Bunch of garbage.vit should be 2 dollars a gallon

FakeNews needs to understand that demand determine supply and productions follow accordingly. Prices are bi-product of this natural process.

😡

Why doesn't Trump just call'em up and tell them to lower prices?...it worked last time right?

So this is why I’m paying more at the pump. Eff you trump

If oil prices get too high, US production will increase again. This isn’t your grandfather’s OPEC controlled oil market anymore.

So all has worked out well for the shtbag wealthy trumpers ...

funny how the prices spike even after all that midde east oil theft , where did the oil go ? to israel or Space Nasa / SpaceX rockets ? tell the parents of those that died in the middle east where that oil went ? WhiteHouse

Fantastic. Now if the economy tanks, and indicators are it is starting to head south, we'll be free from Donald Dickhead in 2020!

But ... but ... but ... Dancin' Donnie said last year he called OPEC and told them to open up the spiggots. Has the love been lost? CantStandIt

Get rid of opec! Nothing but price gougers and manipulators.

I thought the U.S. is not dependent anymore.

Well Democratic road blocks come to mind as an issue...

Must be Trump’s fault - because, you know, that’s CNN’s assessment of every situation

Odd, havent noticed the price above $3 a gallon sense Obama! Probly wont ever see those insane prices again.

WHICH IS GREAT FOR THE USA AT THIS PRICE IT FRACKING MUCH MORE BETTER FOR US 😎🇺🇸

Thought the worst president ever was going to jump on this.

The Arabs are running low on cash again.

Guess Trump’s SA buddies ignored his pleas

Since he took credit for the lower prices, will he be taking credit for the rise in prices? I’m betting not

Drill baby drill...USA

Luckily, I drive an electric car. And what a great car it is! Tesla

Thanks for the expensive gas Trump.

Why? I’m stupid when it comes to oil. I’ll be the first to admit it. What makes the prices rise and fall?
