On the front page of Monday’s paper edition of the Wall Street Journal is an article titled: “Oil Rises as Supply Tightens and Demand picks up.”
I read the article (retitled in the online edition), and somehow, I didn’t find any mention of Biden’s executive orders blocking pipelines and oil leases as a substantial reason why prices have taken off.
