Bill Cara warns that the US government is dangerously manipulating energy markets to artificially suppress prices. He argues that Washington has effectively become a massive oil hedge fund, selling futures to mask severe supply risks for political gain.
According to Cara, this intervention prioritizes optics over market integrity and mirrors a history of leadership failures. He posits that these actions distort essential price signals and create “pathological volatility” that threatens the fundamental trust required for global capital markets. Ultimately, his article concludes that while financial maneuvers can temporarily hide physical shortages, they cannot prevent an inevitable and violent market correction.
