Saudi Arabia is shutting down half of its oil production after drones attacked the world’s largest oil processing facility in the kingdom, The Wall Street Journal reported. The closure will impact almost five million barrels of crude production a day, about 5% of the world’s daily oil production, the WSJ reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. Early Saturday, an oilfield operated by Saudi Aramco, the state-owned oil giant, was attacked by a number of drones, which sparked a huge fire at a processor crucial to global energy supplies. Yemen’s Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was one of their largest attacks ever inside the kingdom, the WSJ reported. “We promise the Saudi regime that our future operations will expand and be more painful as long as its aggression and siege continue,” a Houthi spokesman said. The attack deployed 10 drones, the Houthis said.
But U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Iran for the attacks. “Tehran is behind nearly 100 attacks on Saudi Arabia while Rouhani and Zarif pretend to engage in diplomacy. Amid all the calls for de-escalation, Iran has now launched an unprecedented attack on the world’s energy supply,” Pompeo tweeted. “There is no evidence the attacks came from Yemen.” The White House said President Donald Trump spoke with Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to offer U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s defense. “Violent actions against civilian areas and infrastructure vital to the global economy only deepen conflict and mistrust. The United States Government is monitoring the situation and remains committed to ensuring global oil markets are stable and well supplied,” the White House said. The Saudi interior ministry said the fires were under control, according to state-run Saudi Press Agency, adding the investigations into the terrorist attack are ongoing. Saudi officials are considering drawing down their oil stocks to sell to foreign buyers to make sure world oil supplies won’t be disrupted by the attack and shutdown, the WSJ reported.
安了吧，川普说 Based on the attack on Saudi Arabia, which may have an impact on oil prices, I have authorized the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, if needed, in a to-be-determined amount sufficient to keep the markets well-supplied. I have also informed all appropriate agencies to expedite approvals of the oil pipelines currently in the permitting process in Texas and various other States.

10刀就是原油的涨停板吧。
小无人机带点炸弹威力有限，破坏也是有限和短暂的。
能否让大家见识一下 oil 的涨停板，印象中好像还从来没见过

厉害国乐见其成是可能的；技术支持有可能，可能性小一点；指失的可能性不大，因为没人听他们的；亲自上场可能性为零，因为没这个能力和胆子。
现在大盘虽然接近新高，但油股板块差不多是表现最差的板块，
p/e低于5的一年新低的可以有一长溜
明天应该是油股的欢庆之日
油价上涨很难说对美国是坏事，因为美国现在是net exporter.
美国改变priority介入中东的可能性暂时不大。希望伊朗不要替人火中取栗。
