Jim Cramer Says Don't Trust the Oil Rebound
Katherine Ross
Let's talk about oil.Â
It's been quite a week! We've seen oil prices plummet and then rebound. So, what's happening today?
Oil prices rose Thursday for a second straight day, sparked by President Donald Trump's instruction for the U.S. Navy to "shoot down" any Iranian gunboats that harass American ships at sea.
Iran on Thursday vowed a "crushing response" to threats from Trump as tensions in the Gulf region continued to escalate.
West Texas Intermediate crude oil, the U.S. benchmark, rose more than 30% to $17.99 a barrel. Futures for Brent crude, the international standard, gained 12.76% to $22.76 a barrel.
And both Exxon and Chevron were soaring in intraday trading.Â
