1:40 am
four year high. >> we will see an increase in the spread between brent and the wti as we go forward. when the storage tanks get full, wti will fall. ist happens because there not enough capacity sometimes to get that oil to the gulf coast. when you're relying on the brent-linked crudes, and most of the middle east prices based on brent, those crudes will be more scarce in the market and prices will go up. as we see that shortage in the middle east, the market could get more concerned about spare capacity, which we saw mr. novk talk about. we will watch that later on in the year. nejra: thank you. we wanted your thoughts on our whenquestion of the day --
