Things are getting worse -very rapidly

Posted on September 10 2026

This is the FT's Brent oil price chart tonight:

The price has hit $107 and is skyrocketing out of control again. This time, that is rational. Trump's war is creating shortages that are driving these price hikes.

Economicallty, things are going to get much worse, as I have been warning for many months, and the signs are that things are now exploding.

I am very worried. I might have predicted this, but I take no satisfaction from it happening.
