does deserve a oil shock as it would shock suppliers and oil lovers such as tRUMP, who have been against all alternative sources of non-fossil created energy, such as wind, solar, etc.

Perhaps the fossil fuels market resilience is due to speculators betting on a shortage/excess gap in oil futures, being prepared by tRUMP in advance, to enrich his buddies. These cycles have seemingly popped up quickly and ran their course in a matter of weeks and then were gone, when all of the profits that could be made were made (including tRUMP and his stooges).
