Yes, also the fact that it’s done it for the last few years about this time gets the specs going in that direction as well. If there’s nothing ‘fundamental’ going on this year it could quickly reverse as Saudis hold price and let quantity adjust.
Also, lower crude makes dollars harder to get overseas (our oil bill goes down) which tends to firm up the dollar.
