4. The one "positive" though

is that OPEC+ is about to go into overdrive pumping more oil after pulling back for a year to keep the price up....

Meaning that will drop the price/bbl and will impact the U.S. shale oil drillers, as the current prices are already close to or below their "breakeven" figures for new wells at the moment. There have already been rumblings over the past couple months in the U.S. oil sector about not being too interested in any immediate new drilling (as they won't make anything back to offset the cost to do it - spot WTI closed at ~$61/bbl this past Friday).
