🛢 Dated Brent, the physical North Sea crude benchmark, rose above $140 per barrel today, the highest since 2008. It tracks real cargoes loading 10 to 30 days ahead and is set daily from actual buyer and seller deals by S&P Global Platts. Brent futures on ICE are paper contracts for delivery months later. They are driven more by speculation and storage costs. The gap is large. Physical oil is around $141 per barrel while futures are near $109. This shows tight immediate supply and war risk pricing in the real barrel market while financial pricing lags behind.

Some personal news to share. My regular column with La Presse has been suspended indefinitely this week, after 25 years and more than 1,000 columns. This was not my decision. The decision is linked to recent public comments I made on social media regarding the evolving media landscape in Canada, including reflections on government support for media and its potential implications. I understand that these are sensitive and complex issues, and my remarks may not have aligned with the publication’s perspective. While I am disappointed, I fully respect their decision and remain grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to contribute over the years. I would also like to note that my contributions were always made on a voluntary basis. I was never compensated for my columns, and have personally supported La Presse through a paid subscription throughout that time. It has truly been a privilege to write for such an important institution. I continue to believe that open, thoughtful discussions about the future of media in Canada are both necessary and healthy.
