New York Petroleum Futures fell below zero to negative earlier this week, creating the US stock market.The negative value of the futures of physical goods is equivalent to posing.Petroleum futures zero is mainly a problem of transaction mechanism, but the downturn oil prices are originally a general trend.Petroleum prices have been pressured due to the continuous decline in world economic growth in recent years. The month before the month before the month, Saudi Arabia and Russia played more tacitly in the oil market, causing oil prices to fall again. FinallyIt's impossible to sink.Even if OPEC+has previously reached a production reduction agreement, it has no great stimulation effect on oil prices.It can be imagined that the new crown epidemic has not been effectively controlled one day, and international oil prices are difficult to get out of downturn.
The game of sand and Russia has brought changes in the oil market, but the United States has suffered great impact.In the past, when the price of oil was more than $ 70, President Trump often criticized the price of oil.However, when oil prices fell to the previous $ 30, the US shale oil market was impacted, which made U.S. oil merchants who have been supporting Trump to put pressure on it.Now that oil prices have been completely collapsed, Trump has to use national forces to enter the market to intervene in the market, and buy oil as a strategic reserve to save the oil market.Oil prices have gradually become the weakness of the US economy.
Petroleum affects the interests of the United States
Looking back at the modern foreign relations, it is not difficult to find that the United States has always been moving with oil.Since the Persian Gulf War, the United States intervene in the Middle East is considered to ensure crude oil supply.On the Internet, the United States is often used to be robbed of oil.However, the growth of domestic shale oil mining technology in the 1900s changed the relationship between the United States and oil.The United States has changed from oil into the country to the exporter.This seems to mean that the United States does not need to use soldiers everywhere, and the world can be more peaceful.But in the past ten years, the United States has raised a monster that has been unprepared at oil companies.The United States relies on oil exports as economic growth points, and its government has also tilted towards it and intervene in political forces.Including suppression of Iran, even European countries such as Germany cannot buy natural gas from Beixi through Beixi.The world has not become more peaceful because the United States changes output oil.
Whether it is input or output oil, the US government cannot get rid of the curse of oil.The reason is the limitations of neo -liberalism.Petroleum is a strategic resource, and modern countries ensure that oil supply has strategic significance.However, under neo -liberalism, the United States can only use some private companies to minimize oil.In order to ensure that these oil companies can continue to operate, the U.S. government has to do its best to promote its oil, including various methods, including force, and form a predatory economy similar to the colonial industrial products in disguise.However, once the government has to participate in it, it is ironic that it violates the original concept of neo -liberalism.
The new liberalism regards the government as the enemy, emphasizing that it cannot interfere with market operations.The U.S. economy has always been with neo -liberalism, but the oil market has lived under the help of the government from beginning to end.It can be said that the oil problem perfectly shows the dilemma of neo -liberalism perfectly, and also shows the reality that it cannot operate.Recently, Political Scientist Fukuyama, who once believed that neo -liberalism was an interview with the French media opinion (Le Point), also admitted that economic new liberalism was dead.The future pattern of the world economy is no longer possible to dominate new liberalism.
