brian sullivan with a look at that you will be a traveling man this weekend, sir >> i sure will we have the eu price gap which looks to be in place at 60 bucks per barrel, brent crude price cap. that looks like that's going to get done the opec meeting is virtual on sunday but just because it's virtual doesn't mean they won't make a change mos expectations are they will not but do not be surprised if they do some kind of a small or medium-sized cut, sort of based on my own reporting. we will see the eu oil sanctions, tyler, the ones that were basically agreed to in may, they finally go into effect on monday the secret is that there's actually still russian oil flowing into europe. these sanctions kick in monday designed to kill any of that, any oil going into europe, which is fascinating, tyler, because there are some refineries, one huge one in italy, one in germany, that have effectively said to we don't know where we're going the get the oil to make fuel or at least all the fuel once we cut this off. excuse me. i get a little choked up talking about it, tyler. there is a lot going on
