12:26 pm
it's not possible to sleep during continuous shilling when planes flying over your head and missiles explode next to protest against russia's invasion to be held in several countries with calls for western pals to do more to broke or peaceful end to the violence people in several latin american countries have demonstrated against the war. and ukraine, tourism has more for a protest in argentina. was here in the center of when a side is where hundreds of people have gathered to denounce the war in ukraine. people here are calling of latimer, poking a war criminal, and they're demanding russia leave the ukraine, even the most accomplished at the american thinking that we have come here to support all of those who are suffering in ukraine. i have family and friends over there, and this is very upsetting after 2 years of the pandemic. and now this, it is unacceptable that element, the metric ballet hold, just like this one are happening all across latin america in mexico and other
12:27 pm
countries in the region. in the past years, russia has expanded employing a latin america to investment through the distribution of despotic v. vaccine doing the corona virus pandemic, among other things than leaders in the region have their own agenda, then they have used it at the leverage of what the united states, the war in ukraine devices is soon. american, why their government for cool eyes of the kremlin, like nicaragua, vegas willa, and to buy their other countries like mexico or trying to remain under other countries like cartoon, tina that are demanding an end to the war. ukraine war is pushing up the price of oil. the u. s. benchmark. brent crude, the sword to almost $140.00 a barrel. that's the highest since 2008. as because the u. s. into european allies a considering a bad on russian oil. russia is the world's 3rd biggest oil exporter. if it supply is cars, unless predict the spot price could reached $200.00 a barrel far above
12:28 pm
a record. $147.00 reached more than a decade ago. the international monetary fund is worn to the war in sanctions imposed on russia will severely impact the global economy. josh young is chief investment officer at oil and gas equity investment firm, bison interests. he believes russia could benefit from the rise and prices. ironically, it might not hurt russia that much. so if russia gets to export, let's say a 3rd less of their oil. and if they have to take a discount on it. but if well, prices are much higher, they might actually net positive on the oil side. and similar on other commodities . one thing that we lose track of is how much inflation there's been since the last time oil prices were anywhere close to this. hi. and so if you look at it on an inflation adjusted basis, you'd be looking at oil close to $200.00 a barrel to be equivalent to the price that i got $2.00 in 2008. and frankly,
12:29 pm
the world economy is a lot stronger and a lot bigger since then. and it's a lot less oil dependency. you could actually see, well, prices go a lot higher before causing recession. and before you see demand destruction, i think there's a good chance that this is not short term. there's always the possibility of a short term pullback after prices rise as much as they have as quickly as they have. but there were these dynamics going on. there was a long downturn for oil, and we too much under investment in oil over the last, let's say, 7 years. and there were very harsh government policies in the us, canada, and elsewhere that were diminishing oil investment and oil production. and so this is kind of the result of that. obviously the russian invasion of ukraine was a, it was a catalyst and brought this forward. but this was something that was going to happen anyway. oil is going to go to all time highs, kind of regardless in other news, serious government says in israeli air attack has killed at least 2 people and damascus. several explosions reportedly took place over the capitol state medias,
12:30 pm
