I know, our refiners are designed for Middle East crude. But oil derivates are fungible and thus globally priced.
I have not traded on oil company stock in the last 3 years and I will never touch it again. I think, like coal industry that's practically dead in the US, oil is the next to go -- although in a longer time horizon -- with the demand globally on the long term downtrend.
I'm staying home not because some politicians are telling me but upon the advice of medical professionals and pandemic experts as I don't want to put myself in danger or somebody else's in case I'm an asymptomatic Covid-19 virus carrier.
I don't mind at all and I can live with those kind of sacrifices. This is the least I can do and I'm even willing to do more heavy lifting as my family is preparing to provide free groceries to those who'll need it.
