But how much time does the global economy have when it comes to this supply shock on oil?

And are we reaching that crunch point where things are really going to start hitting the skids?

Yeah, I think in the end, markets are believing that Donald Trump will ultimately decide to do what's best for the stock market effectively and that eventually political reality will set in with him.

But at this point, you have to say that he does not seem to have a clear way of getting out of this predicament.

And while he might still be looking at the stock market and thinking, well, everything's okay.

It's a kind of bizarre feedback loop, isn't it, where the markets are assuming that he's going to eventually do the right thing, for want of a better terminology, and get the straight back open.

But he's looking at the stock market and saying, well, they think it's fine.

So actually, maybe we don't need to do anything.

Extraordinary set of circumstances.
