MacroVoices #268 Art Berman: Crude Oil Update
MacroVoices Erik Townsend and Patrick Ceresna welcome Art Berman to the show. Art nailed the call for $65 crude oil when we had him on in early January, but now he says the big move higher in price is probably mostly over, and he doesn’t see any reason to expect crude oil prices to rally much higher than $70. And that’s despite the fact that Art still predicts a significant decline in U.S. production later this year. They discuss this and so much more.
