This looks to me as an artificially and temporary crisis that is using a perceived problem (cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline and energy independance) and cooperation with Middle East Countries to raise prices of oil for a quick cash grab and then reinstate the pipeline and things are back to normal. Just a feeling and I have no facts backing my claims but the story disappeared quickly and you don't have those tear-jerk stories about the guy who bought the truck and can't feed his family anymore.

So I think Trump made special deals with Saudi Arabia to keep production up to keep the price low. Several weeks ago the D party went ballistic on the SA government because of Khashoggi being killed. They were pissed when it happened and then recently Biden imposed sanctions on Saudi Arabia. I think this is part of the reason gas prices will continue to climb. I look for a economic slow down/ recession towards the end of the year.
