Nobody is really expecting U.S. oil demand to suddenly... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy A New Oil Crown Is About to Be Passed Keith Kohl | Feb 08, 2024 The eyes of the world are shifting once again within the oil sector. For the last three decades, that gaze has been razor-focused on just one emerging economy: China. I know what youâre thinking⦠Isnât the United States the largest oil consumer on the planet? We are, by a healthy margin. However, even though the U.S. consumes roughly one-fifth of the worldâs oil, itâs also true that there isnât much growth ahead. There hasnât been much growth behind, either. In fact, our demand for petroleum products has been relatively flat for the last 24 years (with the exception of the COVID dip, of course). Donât take my word for it, just take a look for yourself: [us oil consumption] Truth is, nobody is really expecting U.S. oil demand to suddenly surge higher. Nobody is expecting it to really drop either. The EIAâs long-term projections expect U.S. petroleum and liquid fuels to drop only slightly between now and 2050. But our ravenous demand for crude oil has always been taken as a given. Everyone knows our demand growth has flattened.  So for the last two decades, the spotlight has almost always been on China. Why? Well, because the key to oilâs fundamentals is how weâll meet growing demand. Think about it⦠9 Billionaires Shifting Funds Here (Plus Warren Buffett) The smartest investors in the world are making a BIG move right now. David Tepper, Steve Cohen, Bill Gross, Paul Tudor Jones, Jeremy Grantham, George Soros, Carl Icahn, Jim Simons, and Larry Fink... They're jumping into oil and gas stocks with both feet. Meanwhile, 99% of investors canât see whatâs coming. According to Keith Kohl, our oil and gas analyst, three powerful economic triggers are converging on the oil markets right now... A "perfect storm" unlike anything weâve seen in 50 years. The last time this happened, a small group of oil companies made 20x returns in a few years. Some gains were as high as 3,000%! Thatâs exactly the type of oil company Keith is recommending today.  Heâs calling it "the No. 1 oil stock of the decade." [Get the name and ticker here before oil prices surge higher.]( Back in the 1990s, China was only consuming around two million barrels per day; hardly a drop in the bucket compared to us. Slowly but surely, Chinese demand grew. Over the next decade, China's thirst for crude had nearly tripled. They couldnât get enough as demand soared to 14.7 million barrels per day during the first half of 2023. That's 8% higher year-over-year!  Make no mistake, China was under the spotlight last year more than ever before because the mainstream narrative was that its economy â and by proxy its oil consumption â would crash. And yet, it didnât. Even the eternally-bearish IEA estimates that Chinese oil demand averaged around 17 million barrels per day in 2023 â a growth of nearly 4%. With more growth on the way in 2024, youâd expect the spotlight to stay on China, right? Think again. [AI âTollboothâ has ChatGPT by the balls]( AI platforms ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Bing are all at the mercy of the AI âTollboothâ...

CNBC reports forecast a stunning rise in gold prices to $2,200 per ounce this year, driven by the Federal Reserveâs anticipated rate cuts. "We are expecting gold to be pushed higher by a Fed easing. Also this comes with a weaker dollar," said precious metals strategist Joni Teves. See, as interest rates fall, gold outshines other investments like bonds, which would offer diminishing returns. Simultaneously, a dip in rates tends to dilute the dollarâs strength, making gold more affordable for international investors, and in turn, spiking its demand. Which means RIGHT NOW is the absolute best time for you to buy gold. But Iâm not talking about physical gold... because the real money is with the miners. And in just a few weeks, a tiny, under-the-radar stock will release drilling results that could send the stock soaring â handing early investors as much as $57,000 or more!
