Jet fuel hitting $200/bbl while oil futures trade in fantasy land.
The disconnect is insane. Refiners are getting squeezed, airlines are bleeding, but WTI/Brent charts don't reflect reality.
This is what happens when paper markets decouple from physical supply. Derivatives traders playing games while real-world energy costs explode.
Watch for:
- Airline earnings misses
- Refining margin compression
- Potential crude rally as the gap closes
Futures manipulation isn't a conspiracy when the spread screams it. Physical delivery always wins eventually.
